all the chips<\/p>\n\n\n\n
are down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well, I know that<\/p>\n\n\n\n
they aren\u2019t chips exactly,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
they are checkers, or<\/p>\n\n\n\n
pieces,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I look at you in<\/p>\n\n\n\n
wonder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There you are<\/p>\n\n\n\n
just there,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
in easy arm\u2019s reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Content in the<\/p>\n\n\n\n
early morning air,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
contemplating the <\/p>\n\n\n\n
surf, the sky, the<\/p>\n\n\n\n
people going by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We play,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I win, yay!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once, mind you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We eat, sharing food easily,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
like the other<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sustinances<\/p>\n\n\n\n
flowing between us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We sip coffee<\/p>\n\n\n\n
we muse<\/p>\n\n\n\n
we contemplate,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and all the<\/p>\n\n\n\n
while, that tiny<\/p>\n\n\n\n
redhead girl<\/p>\n\n\n\n
inside me smiles\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There really is<\/p>\n\n\n\n
such a thing as kinship,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
all one<\/p>\n\n\n\n
has to do is<\/p>\n\n\n\n
try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
