Training wheels come off today:
waiting, anticipation…
it’s pretty easy in fact;
Dad knows how.
Mom & Dad are supportive;
parking lot of an abandoned
workplace:
Saturdays are for
learning.
Fresh start, they say:
wobbling along on just
2 wheels:
the world is topsy-
turvy
now.
Fall this way,
fall that way:
eventually
we straighten out on our own
path;
then we are finally able to
ride circles
‘round our own parents;
but Mom & Dad
will always watch us
from the sidelines,
cheering, gasping, crying:
always supportive.
until the day
they cannot come to watch us anymore
and then even the wheels we have
come off
and we must learn
everything over
again

One Art, to recognize, must be,
Another Art to Praise.
