Rejoining

poem

---

After weeks
of inertia due

to my ankle
injury, I rejoin

the world.
This means

that I can drive.
And, so, today,

I drove my wife
and older son

to one event
and drove

our younger son
to another

event. Ordinary 
stuff, I know,

but, on most days,
the ordinary 

is plentiful.
On most days,

we should call
ourselves blessed

when we can
perform

the simplest
of family chores.
