early this morning,
my last dream of the night
made me smile
*
grade school kids,
when i told them “i’m 77”
they all clapped!
I went to school to teach a class of children. We went around the room introducing ourselves—our names and how old we were. When it came my turn, I told them “Yulan, and sometimes Mimmy. I’m 77.” They all clapped!
No lie, that was my dream. I woke up with a smile.
