A poem for Bern from 2008

                  Almost two hours

I didn't think of you for almost two hours tonight.

I watch House on TV,

Cleaned the kitchen,

Made chicken salad with pickles for my lunch tomorrow.

I listened to the Yankees game on radio

And watched it rain from the kitchen porch.

And in all that time,

Almost two hours,

I didn't think of you once.

But, I wouldn't be writing this if

After than time

I hadn't thought of you.

Lovingly.

Lovingly.

Come home soon....
