Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Was That Dean Martin

We flip through one hundred and eighteen glossy pages of magazine people.
None we know.
Wait!  Was that Dean Martin?
A throwback to the 60’s.
False alarm.  
One more page of people we do not know.
Why do we take these magazines?  We ask each other.
We do not KNOW any of these people.  
Maybe this is the best reason of all.

Quoth Theraven October 14, 2019 at 10:48 AM Caren, I love this poem, but it makes me miss Deano, Oh well, that's amoure'.. -Richard Caren Krutsinger October 16, 2019 at 7:28 AM My father-in-law and Dean Martin had the same face, the same body, the same smile, the same mannerisms. He has been gone since 1984. I miss that!
