How to find the words I need to say

what I need to make



everything

good

Instead,

a photo,

a thousand words.

We went over to New York to shop for bargain & best food,

nomads for good sweet corn.

We stopped @ Drinkwine Produce stand on Rt 9N

 Fred got a dozen ears

and some beautiful big black plums.

I think Mom would have said that they should be

Italian Prune Plums

for perfect

Plum Dumplings

After we stopped, we got a call about Mom &

her deepening decline in status,

her inability to connect w/me,

The ton of bricks I can still feel

makes it hard to breathe,

 I knew now,

that each of us

felt it.

So I was happy when Fred bought the plums.

I made a half way attempt at making dumplings

It did not matter, it was the thought that mattered

and there were 7 plums.
