To brighten suppressed expression in family strain
I proposed end-of-year lists What I Most Liked This Year
no one wanted to participate and mine were a page or two.
Those lists long gone 
this year Thanksgiving at Melissa’s house
Museum of Fine Arts with David Amanda and Dawn
Ravi Coltrane Jack DeJohnette Matt Garrison at Berklee
Mr. Nick and the Dirty Tricks at the Riverwalk Café and Music Bar
and yes yesterday’s NEC Millennium Gospel Choir at the MFA.
No one believes a list is a poem.
