TIME OFF

 

Shadows in hospitals are made to work

For their keep but union rules require

Occasional time off so my grandfather's --

The one he lost track of when the Army

Requisitioned it during the Great War -- 

Drifts by once in a while. He asks if I've recalled

Any new details of what my grandfather did

After they parted. I had to show him photographs

Before he'd admit I didn't make up the mustache.
