Chatting

 

 

this morning

In the shower

i talked with you

again

(remember those times

we bathed 

together

laughing

giggling 

how we were 

saving the planet?) 

today i shared with you 

all that had happened 

since you left 

the garden wall collapsing 

home improvements 

selling the property 

kid problems 

(will they ever cease?) 

but 

you already knew 

about all that 

didn’t you?

so an old man 

chats 

in the shower 

sharing his life with 

his dear departed wife 

hear him laugh 

cry 

understand how 

he loves her 

hear him thank her 

again and again

for the most wonderful

loved-filled 

adventurous 

forty years of his life 

yes he loves her 

still 

chatting while 

showering 

look how it makes 

this world 

(and perhaps yours) 

more beautiful
