25th August 2018

autumnal air
the changing season
dog farts

He'd have been ninety today
if he hadn't retired at sixty
to concentrate on his garden
and immediately became disabled.
Happy birthday, dad,
I'm thinking of you
and I wonder if my memories
are better than the reality.
Would you like the person I am?
or would you have disowned me
in despair of ,my life choices?
