in summation

First-time Doc today, statin debates, my arm dripping in evaluated blood as I speed by the airport, the harbor all a-glitter in mid-morning sun, a Spanish landing downhill from the barrio, free gulps with a Starbuck’s gift-mail, tender, tender back and forths with a somewhat-struggling kid – one year out, medallion time, though danger ‘s never all that far. Yup, dig that.

And there’s covid positives and never-ending tests – not me, Bro – rain jackets straight outta Amazon, all my gear 1000 miles north, and gift horses strut and books a-pile in the corner, where sun streams in, coffee’s hot, and the library’s all I got.
