I agree
 
 
 
Her gentle, earnest, brother-in-law, 
husband of twin, fellow postal worker, 
 
told me she needed help with things 
around the house. We were standing 
 
in her driveway, in the miniature sun 
of a winter weekend afternoon. 
 
All the kids were playing now, running 
around and on the unfinished deck. 
 
Some things are unassailably right: 
the triumph of inertia, a crease 
 
of distraction in an aging face. 
She was in the house, showering.
