The Black Family Of Whitestone ... Page Four

________________________________________________________________________________________________



The boy is me
and my baby sister
with the piercing eyes
is the one 
who begifted me 
with this family photo.
She remembered  
the [barely visible] popsicle
in my father's hand:
 
Daddy said
"Everyone gets one bite."
That is exactly what happened
and the last bite was yours,
brother dearest.
 
It dripped all over
your new polo shirt
and we all 
laughed our asses off

The story of my life

    This is Dr. Raft, Paul's therapist and lifelong friend.
    But this time, other commentistas can have their say
    after I state (for clarification) that the numerals in this image
    distinguished the deceased Oliverios of Whitestone
    from the living Oliverios of Whitestone.

      As Bob Hope used to say, Thanks for the memories.
      Eating ice cream or cake with everyone in my family
      conjures up a treasure trove of memories
      from days gone by.
