How could I?
Maybe a young girlfriend is what I’ll get.
Someone about half my age sounds about right.
A little older the my youngest one
but not as old as my oldest. Bring her to
family gathering like that fourth of July fiasco Upstate
at my sons house every year.
We could insist on sleeping in the same room.
Same crap they pulled with boy and girlfriends of theirs.
I could get up early make eggs and bacon. Tell them
with a grin. I stopped worrying about my cholesterol
since I’m with her
She has a natural way of keeping it low,
if you know what I mean?
We’ll drink coffee on the balcony
she leaning all over me
While I try to read the morning paper
(God I hate that). Her of course in a flimsy
see through night gown that shows an elaborate tattoo
on her backside.
Them taking this all in from the pool area. While cleaning leaves and caterpillars from its’ filter.
It’s what their mother would want for me I’m sure.
Even if we didn’t discuss it in such great detail
as I’ll claim we did before she died.
When they ask.
How could I?
