4 may



The Secret

I just kept being normal.
                She was very matter-of-fact about it,
as if it was a matter of fact,
as if just being normal is enough
to keep everyone’s grandma around
to celebrate 99 years of doing so.

This is what matters, she says,
And stay away from drinking.
I toast her with water.
I tell her this is my second glass.
Too much of that, she says, and you’ll be back and forth to the bathroom!

Being normal, it adds up.
