Tell her she knows where
to find me. That much
hasn't changed.
Say that Grandpa Augie
is still in his heart
and he still wears the shirt
Grandma gave him.
Describe the simplicity
of grabbing a burger all alone
and the families all looming
about, sometimes glancing,
sort of thinking
why is he here.
The little kids thinking.
And maybe no one's asking
and everyone will find a name
for this summer to be the best
and all the winding, wining,
and weekday mornings
will reach a clean solution.
