Sweeps
me along like a cosmic broom
I
know age isn’t important and yet I still wonder twenties, thirties, forties and
of course ageless as her ancient wisdom wraps me in a Moses blanket and secures
my final fantasy
I
know she has a significant other and still I wonder of her day to day and how
she can be so mortal and immortal at the same time
Felt
like she was slipping away so I said something and instead of becoming
defensive she placed her foot back on the gas to make sure I knew she’s not
going anywhere and that this connection means as much to her as it does to me
It’s
been decades since I’ve held someone’s hand or took it upon myself to make sure
we get across the busy street safe and sound
She’s
a mommy and I’m the old man of the mountain with no dependents which isn’t
entirely true because I believe everyone relies upon someone and as gladiators
go I’ve always been ready and more than willing to go that extra hundred miles
or more for anyone who requires aid
I
was breaking bad, not with meth just my own silliness that sometimes involves
cracking wise and loosening all ties that constrict and bind when I finally
came to the hard fought realization that our inner children must be protected
at all costs and that includes not going back to school so soon because this
virus has other ideas and our children should not be led to slaughter because
of politics and people’s reigning ignorance
I
hear Mimo, the creative director off camera and I am so delighted by all her
happy sounds and yes the words she uses already so powerfully like her mommy,
her mother lioness

Air Liner get on board and leave all your troubles behind because it’s time we
reinvested in our dreams and stopped pretending because we’re grownups we can
no longer have fun and laugh like we used to.
