Sixty

For Sue, traveling the West Coast; for Lise, writing screen plays in Texas; for Anne, auditioning for plays in Chicago; and for me. 

I wondered what sixty

Would be like

Oh

Oh

It’s not what I imagined.

It’s better than I thought.

A friend takes a road trip.

Another writes screenplays.

Still another auditions

For plays.

Me

I drive when I can.

I write when I can.

I try out

For new roles.

Sometimes I achieve things

It never occurred to me

I was trying

To achieve.

Surprise.

Surprise.

Sixty.

I wondered what sixty

Would be like.
