57, 3 , 6, 500, 399 – a fiesta of numbers.
“all the world is birthday cake,
so take a piece, but not too much.”
– george harrison
===
today
i celebrate
as
each of those numerals
represent something
important to me
my number of years on earth
my number of daughters
my number of grand babies
my number of posts
my number of dog years on earth
ah, but
which is which?

h3-oh!
having
named
all of
my
3 daughters
all close in age
with
names
that
all begin
with the letter
h
has caused
me to
rarely
if ever
call them
by their
proper name
at least
on
the first
or
the second
try
and
they’ve
all learned
over time
to just
answer
to
any of them
and
when they
all sign their cards
to me
love
your favorite daughter, h
i know i’ve done it right

one thing they never tell you about child raising is that for the rest of your life, at the drop of a hat, you are expected to know your child’s name and how old he or she is.

things that go bump in the night.
such a chilly night
that i
ran up
the stairs
to my
cozy
loft bedroom
with the
slanted ceilings
and i
was
so happy
to be there
that i
jumped into bed
just like
in the movies
with piles of
warm soft blankets
and
pillows
waiting for me
but
somehow
my head
went first
and i
jumped into
the slanted ceiling
instead
then i
fell into bed
holding my head
and wondering
would i
wake up?
and i
saw a few stars
though i
don’t have a skylight
so i
wrote down
two questions
to ask myself
to check on
my
potential concussion
who is the president?
what is your name?
that’s what
they always ask
in the movies
but i
forgot
to wake up
to ask them of myself
and i
forgot
to write down the answers
how
would i
ever know
if i
got them right?
all
that i
do know for sure
is
that i
woke up
with
a giant bump
of some kind
on my head
don’t let your head get in the way of your hearts direction…

remember you are just an extra in everyone else’s play. – franklin d. roosevelt
i love the casting call
for the latest
group of extras
needed
for a film
being shot locally.
though i don’t have the look of
a sketchy male or a crack head ,
i could easily be
a gawker or neighborhood folk.
good to know.
