Our Resting Place


red, white, black carpet on the floor

three-foot-wide clock on the wall

brown and white laminate floors

Grecian vinyl in the water closets

electric fireplace in the corners...

large screens hanging from the ceiling

a rustic coffee table splits the difference

between two reclining couches...

fans circling twenty-four seven

sliding doors to the sunroom with

patio furniture around the perimeters

a cat door beside the recliner allows

for easy daily access in or out...

no stairs or steps to climb except two

a yard that always mows itself

since it is so small and complete,

we are retired and acquired many years

on these bodies of ours that are in

constant need of monthly repair,

a room to go would be perfect as long

as three meals a day were served.
