The 3rd poem in my 100 day effort. It was half written between midnight and one AM this morning. I finished it when I called my grandma to check my facts this afternoon. I found out that my grandma is a neat lady, who has had a very interesting life.
My maternal grandmother
is the last one standing-
two grandfathers and another grandmother
have gone too the great light.
She is still strong enough
to play bingo several nights a week,
clean the same man’s house for almost seven decades,
and mow her lawn herself
despite her 84 years as of next April.
