Notes About The Poem

Rain

Memorable Moments Maybe

The rain is drumming on the rooftop,
tomorrow the river will flood. 

The morning news spews outrage
about sewage in the Potomac,
apropos somehow. 

Epstein
Iran
Tariffs 

Democrats 
Republicans

Jesus saves,
maybe not. 

LIFE is full of memorable moments:

My brother died
my cousin died
my friend died
my classmate died~

Seconds tick by silently
as my elderly mother
waits to die. 

My life is remarkably unmemorable
and that’s okay…

It's not 
as if you have 
a choice in the matter, 
but if you leave a poem it's 
enough.
