SABBATICAL
Without realizing it,
I was given a Sabbatical
in my 79th year of life.
I got sick.
I felt fragility with my triple by-pass.
I realized there are time limits.
In the Washington Hospital Center
I asked myself in the middle of the night,
“Is this it or will I have more time?”
I didn’t know.
The side effects of the anesthesia
and oxycodone unhinged my reality.
Time - and I hope
recovery
will give me answers.
I had the all already -
but why not more?
Why not?
