"Reel Choices"

Reel Choices

         ––for Herb G.

Herb has a list

by decade, by genre,

a movie bucket list.

Buckle up, with remote.

Sweat your near fears.

Project what you cannot

reject as real––

your mother 

bequeathing 

her dusty effects, 

the almost fiancée
forgetting your 

touch, 

plans to abandon
and piles to sort. 

In the meantime, 

Herb, pick a movie––

you’re entitled.
