Yes, We Have No Bananas

Here at the Posture Foundation
we’ve been using words incorrectly
for decades.  Ironic, expected, and
somewhat pleasant to hear.  Worry
less about Alzheimer’s is Mom’s
favorite phrase.  I can see the
picture now.  Not in an envelope,
but telepathically (I’ve been watch-
ing way too much Futurama).  But
why would he so rather stare at my
name on a computer than say hello?
The foam on the top of this latté
has given me that sinking feeling
again.  Meanwhile, back at the
Ponderosa, the tide is in.  And
with it, memories of another
rejection (apparently for 
bringing up astrology 
during a job interview).
