Could Be Anywhere...

Mathew

he scurries about with baskets
catching falling grapefruit
there be a Wookie up the tree!
big, bad, furry biker
with grapefruit blossums
in ponytail and long beard.

he works so hard and long
cleaning dear, old friends yard
just for Mama’s wedding.
beloved Dead head’s back yard
offered with love, simplicity
for a wayward brother’s nuptials.

he wrenchs a long dormant Dodge
(Mama blew up the Peugot)
gotta get groceries and such.
His new mentor, our dear brother
giving rides to work, back and forth
picking up Mister’s son at airport.

he smiles and just get’s it done
he is a good son and friend
sipping Corona,sharing his Mama’s love.
Gonna miss my newest friend
once gone back to the far east
i’m very glad you are my son, my son.
