Twice Told Tales

Upstairs in the Nashua computer room
video chatting with mom in Dover
remote controlling her iMac
sometimes I reviewed her inbox mail:
Ma you don’t wanna keep this do you?
    Why don’t I?
Because you forwarded it to yourself.
    Let’s see what it says first.
We saw it a while ago, it’s a prayer for the president.
    Okay, I guess I don’t need that one.
I enjoyed chatting while playing Hearts
and playing Hearts again.
An afternoon we were chatting
I heard the screen door bang 
then Cheryl’s voice:
    Ma! I’m here.
