up until midnight
awaiting his safe return
gripping TV

Should I be pleased by what I have achieved
by dabbling in the arts of modern youth?
A thousand paintings loved by those perceived
to be a family member loved in truth.
A dozen novels barely read unless
the reader knew the author or was bade
to read their modern literature as set
to highlight moral choices evil made?
A billion lines of poetry in print
in both physical and virtual typeface
for which a dozen more lie here and glint
like Fool's Gold in a Temu mineral case
At least I am content with just the thought
That I have brought a smile to those I taught.
