threading the eye of a needle


a mug of coffee
steaming on the front step 
striped pajamas
stooping to the news

three martinis
waiting at the airport
Sunday morning
is turning the screws

threading the eye of a needle

meanwhile, we're dying 
strapped in our cars  
the kids in the back
watching shooting stars

meanwhile, we're dying 
slumped in a chair  
leaving EMTs
to stroke the kid's hair

going out happy
surprise, surprise
look at daddy's eyes
look at mommy's eyes

threading the eye of a needle
