Cynicism can take you a long way.
For politicians and religious leaders
It may be the only rational defense,
But it won’t counteract love.
I don’t expect to see Evie often.
She lives on the other side of the earth,
In a place called Vermont,
With husband and daughter Giulia.
Mother and daughter lunched here yesterday.
Giulia never far from touching her Mom.
She seems everyone’s wish for a twelve year old,
Comfortable in the company of seniors.
Where did my rose colored glasses come from?
Why do these two unpretentious people
Insist on confounding conclusions
That have taken me a lifetime to solidify?
Perhaps it is the position of the stars
Or the current barometric pressure
That granted me this exquisite vision of
People who care
very much for each other.
