A Quiet Affair – Vancouver ’63
It’s happened so
fast a call from
the MSA
Hospital
we can take
you now a
full mouth
extraction new
set of teeth
and my girl
Carole
takes the next
bus to
Abbotsford
two weeks
recuperate
with family
tiny Melody
in tow
Gone and somehow
a relief our dark
old one-room
Comox St
apartment
wood paneled
walls a one
time handsome
West End
house now
closing in
