Sitting out here in the backyard of Jack & Jean’s place on Dorrance Lane.
Underneath the two great trees they planted.
Remembering the trampoline of my youth & the swing set & fort I bought for Nick & how Sam & the sons & daughters of my siblings enjoyed both.
Missing the hammock & reading to the boys.
And suddenly, I feel the need to climb a tree.
This is an insane idea at my age & state. But if I bring out a step ladder, I can get there.
Getting down will be a bitch.
But how much fun to linger there.
I am going to find my way to that limb.
