Denise’s Prerogative

Lawrence Gladeview

denise pulled in to her
parking space lackadaisically
with a neighborly wave
and holler extended in my direction

her three boys burst out
of the minivan, hello mr. lawrence!
the oldest is six, and the
younger twins are three

denise’s husband left about
a year ago; on weekdays it’s
the community pool, weekends
are playgroups and church

but lately denise has had a new
lady companion spending the night,
lending a hand with the boys and
occupying the vacant front stoop

the bubbly brood heads inside while
across the cul-de-sac the retired
midshipmen hems and haws
under his proud stars and bars

on my front step
i take a swig of beer and
toast to whimsical autonomy.
