At Age 76

At Age 76

Beijing Tokyo Minneapolis /St Paul.

She tunnels through currents and clouds,
transported to this imagined land with
all she can utter - hello, yes, no, I’m sorry...

We both know what this trip means,
we do know, but we don’t say it.

We spend our best time at Cub Foods;
she holds me back at a pedestrian crossing
as the driver waves your right-of-way.

She smiles to kids in shopping carts,
smiles when a puppy barks around,
smiles at the neighbor’s friendly greetings

and nervously replies:
sorry, wǒ bù dǒng yīng yǔ .
(I don’t know English)

You’ve seen how someone deftly moves
the beads on an abacus up and down.
Such is the way her mind works at numbers,

converting from $ to ¥ or vice versa
so easily. I give her more maths to do and
wonder if I will be able to do the same.

I don't give 'good' casually, it s GOOD, it means beyond words, but not yet away from normal poetics.

I like it.
