WELCOME TO MY SUNNY HOME
With surgical precision I cut open the thick cardboard
A gift from Ada and Rich
I'll be in surgery all night, I thought, and it's not even
Covid-19
Careful, mustn't get soil on carpet
Though my sister Lynn has a "crumber" for
tabletop messes
Jews like me often have naming ceremonies
The name must be meaningful
and as beautiful as the plant itself
Yes, she's a beauty, an Elizabeth Taylor
a Princess Meghan, an Audrey Hepburn
We have renamed her
"Biden" she shall be called, for he and his
family are ascending the mantle of our country
I hold out my cup of Pumpkin Spice and
drink to that, as the wars will eventually
cease. Patience is at hand.
Patience and kindness and love.
Joe Biden, born in 1942.
