Her Laugh

We video chat
And She laughs,
I snap her photo,
I am charmed by
Her sincerity.
She speaks and
I am enchanted by
Her New England accent.
We laugh about the
Great vowel shift
And discuss what
Books we are reading.
We talk about our
Plans and propinquity
3,000 miles apart.
We will be together
In mid March to meet
Face to face and
Increase our
Pair bonding,
Though I am healing
A foot wound and
Only able to walk
By using a
Knee scooter.
I think She
Is brave to
Confront the
Reality of
My flawed self,
Especially on the
Ides of March.
