Chapter 20
This is a bowl of farina
this morning
by special request
It was delicious
and I am grateful
Today
is the fiftieth anniversary
of the last meal
my mother
cooked for me
It was a bowl of farina
and before the end
of the day,
my Mother was dead
but your sympathy
is not what I want
For fifty years,
she has been a member
of the Oliverio 2.0 Society
A society
not lacking in membership
The newest member being
Vincent King,
her son-in-law
I know in my heart
that a Big Party
was held in her honor
It was a pleasure for me
to not be in attendance
On October 16, 2021,
I celebrated
my Fiftieth Birthday
as an Adult Orphan
Fifty
is so much younger
than seventy-two

The first chapters
of this autobiography
