Not For Two Minutes


Random and scattered and mostly prepping food.
Messy and wet and laundry on the line.
Giggles and pouts and thumbs up on the deck.
With snacks.
Always snacks.
And oh it’s a beautiful day
to catch some frogs.
It is.


Without two minutes to put two thoughts together.
Until Grandad
finds a way to let the little boys help him
hammer something.
And before,
when they were all eating breakfast,
and I stole away on flat water for a while.




A different way to be here.
Not serene but deeply good.
A deep knowing of generational goodness, this is.
A way to be together,
now.
Memories and legacies don’t happen
while you’re sitting down
apparently.
