communal kitchen double sink
group prayers peace maker
late nights get one to think
since they got to share an acre
who wants to be alone
gets referral from the gp
padded room of their own
surroundings a little creepy
make no judgement on the go
there is rarely one to blame
for a sold out magic show
brought the trickster fame

warmth emitted by a heater
legs in woolen socks
steaming hot cereal drink
in a thermo cup
three layers of tops
keeping the body toasty
surviving the elements
with no central heating
peeking outside the door
kids in shorts and Ts
playing around the pool
water almost frozen
different comfort zone
when one was a child
no weather forecast
could break the deal
funny part of aging
the heart keeps warm
cold hands and feet
having the chi on ice

an update!
what we ate
could relate
to our fate
there has been a debate
that what is on the plate
illness can create
how could one translate
kind words of a mate
saying we carry extra weight
our appetite does dilate
we start to eat at eight
stop when it’s too late
exercise we sure hate
to wiggle like a fat bait
then meet the same fate
yet! it is not in us innate
I willfully state
it is not too late
new habits to dictate
the promise is great
to change our fate
we cannot wait
for a better date
or be too overweight
to fit the heavens gate
Poem ‘Overweight’ read by the author.
on a different note
I squeezed
an orange
applied pressure
squirt!
the pay-off
liquid of gods
fully recharged
ready for the day
what is coffee?
