POSSIBLE


POSSIBLE


At 18, after signing up
at my local draft board, 
I said I wouldn’t serve
    after being inducted,
& began practicing Zen;
by 24, I beat the draft:
at my induction physical
by declaring myself a
‘covert homosexual.’

At 70, again in crisis,
I pray for help for Ginny
in protecting her from her son
Dan, determined to put her
in assisted living against her will.
I pray that once again what seems 
mpossible can be possible.
