TINKERING BY THE POOL

for my papa jack who has gone to heaven


how do the leaves get through the screen?
maybe there's a hole.
i'll check.
no hole.
....
shit.
must be that damn tree by the shed
i'll cut it down tomorrow.
water temperature?
a brisk 70 degrees
if the yellow turns red
and the greens turns to blue
then the chlorine levels 
are just right
check.
time for my lunch break
tuna melt.
always good.
boy i'm lucky.
what a doll.
porpoises?
inflated.
for the time being...
speaking of which here come the kids
darling little monsters
what's that?
you want to put to the furniture in the pool to build a... bunny hut?
....
i suppose.
as long as you take it back out.
why don't you dive in?
okay i'll count you down
one for the money!
two for the show!
three to get ready!
and four 
to 
go! 



i started to write this next one but didn't like it as much for the memorial 

oh what a wonderful journey it's been
i'll write it all down from beginning to end
a new dream a new page is rising within 
after all these years, oh the message i'll send
if given the chance i'd do it again!
with love and with words, each heart i will mend
my novel is finished but, but now yours begins
