Taking On The Best

"Mom." "Back so soon." "Michelangelo sculpt
his heart out--a goddess." "Blasphemy." "Dreamt
you up, he did--and no, it's true." "Your breadth
is solid." "My breath?" "About, pops, your bronzed
god." "No, 'twas an award statue." "That prompts
you to ask him for a date ..." "A swim." "Depth
for many seasons to check out, the eighth
wonder of the world." "John..., Until the twelfth ..."

"Mama, I'm here, Mama" "My son." "Chimney
stack goes off, like pops." "Your dad ... my husband
that you bring back to life, we're all foible."
His messy desk, but he knows it, angry
when I first cleaned HIS mess--divine sanction,
we're blessed ...," "Mom ... (sigh) ... you're also my angel."
