merry Mary
everyone loves
your smile
tap dancing
playfully silly
never grew
up silly
grandma falls
in closet
knocked over
by grandson
who does
not think
beatings with
Hot Wheels
tracks are
so silly
grandma laughs
and toe
is broke
silly grandma
merry Mary
laughs all
the way
towards the
bank of
river encouraging
her grandson
over Thai
food in
Ashland bookstore
that he
is loved
but conditionally
silly grandma
merry Mary
laughing all
the way
to the
bank full
of skeletons
she would
rather not
see or
hear as
they cackle
laughing silly
grandma the
dead do
not die
they live
in your
cerebral embolisms
merry Mary
always laughing
the silly
grandma that
everyone loves
who could
not love
your meticulous
curation of
history or
your cult
attachments Jehovah
Witness my
silly grandma
laughing all
the way
to Paradise
in her
end times
singing silly
songs as
she becomes
focused serious
on her
fear that
she wasted
her life
destroying her
relationships with
me, Randy
and even
herself so
silly grandma
merry Mary
you can
take this
to the
banks of
the Rogue
River and
drop this
silly poem
as the
water rises
to your
neck that
bends the
head of
the household
is not
that what
you called
yourself in
relation to
serious grandpa?
