31 Days of Moving Reflections – Day 22 #SouthFloridaBound

 

 

 

Saturday, October 22

Ten of us wake up in our son’s perfect-for-four apartment,

D and I on an air mattress crammed in the playroom.

(Later tonight D will lose his balance on too little air

when he rises to visit the restroom, tumble back into bed,

then to the floor and set a toy to talking–and me to giggling.)

It’s so good to all wake up bed-headed

and morning-breath’d together.

I make Grandpa’s pancakes by request,

and we all go whack little balls on little green fields

into eighteen little round holes.

I do better than ever once I’m finally

instructed on how to get a grip.

Then we celebrate the youngest’s first

with Minnie Mouse at Dave and Buster’s.

I give this day a 10.
