Duty
So freely offered
Love is never a duty
Always a pleasure
To live a good life
Basic duty of humans
To land and people
Afghanistan done
Tour of duty completed
PTSD strikes
Saw
Saw the morning light
Reflected in still water
And then through your eyes
At the magic show
Saw a woman cut in half
She was unperturbed
Today on the stair
Saw a man who was not there
Wish he'd go away
Plan
Nursery all planned
Pinks and frills and girlie things
Little boy arrived
I plan to retire
Once we have enough money
Whatever that means
There is a grand plan
For our third rock from the sun
Best we do not know
Note
High aspirations
Grandson borrowed school trombone
First faltering note
Pigeons on the fence
Cooing, nodding, tap-dancing
A two note samba
Objections noted
You can't refuse a birthday
It is just a gift
Schweppes' diatonic
Symphony of bubbles dance
Vibrant notes on stave
