A stable period it seems
but for how long?
the antibiotics have done their job
Time to celebrate a coming birthday
with pasta and song
but the two-thousand-dollar stereo system
sitting in my living room
needs a complete overhaul
I got twenty good years out of it
so far
if I can ever get it repaired
Back in the day - pre-pandemic
had a Vietnamese guy named Bao
who fixed all my electronics
one component at a time
not including the $30 round trip taxi fair
to and from his shop
haven’t talked to him in years
should give him a call
if the pandemic didn’t get him
one way or another
But with all this inflation
on a fixed income
as I like to say
though the bills are paid
food on the table
doesn’t leave much
for anything else
A stable period it seems
but for how long
is anyone’s guess
the way things have been going
I’d be happy - and surprised
making it to seventy
Time to live dangerously?
order that Rolling Stones
Hot Rocks album
from Amazon
though already having the double LP
while the CD player still works
in the computer
