is there something symbolic
in the way he nods his head
reminds me of my father
and his father before him
they are all tall and thin
very blue eyes
makes me grin
at how this gene pool works
how perfectly imperfect it is
and the girls look like their mother
the boys will be handsome men
the old men were young once
they like to tell their stories
we tell them to stop bragging
they laugh really loud and
we move into the other room
gather round the table
drinking coffee
and the kids play
under our feet like kittens
sleepy eyes and static electricity in their hair
they are full of our dreams
we are a mystery to them
the bay is a smooth as glass
from grandfathers front yard
we watch the day come to an end
he lives alone now
but does not seem lonely
he is surrounded at the moment
by three generations
