One for Angel

One for Angel

A Poem by Jon Roggie

No pictures,
 you can't prove it.

Angel has mentioned her moments with John,
  and I have mentioned time with the Sinatra's.

I still have a decanter on my shelf.

We tell our stories,
 knowing most won't believe.

My father was a milkman.
One of his routes was Palm Springs in the early 1970's.

Forget the pictures.

I remember the boxes of candy.
 All of the odd Christmas items.

I was a kid.

I agreed with Frank's mom.
  The ice cream didn't taste right.

Never dismiss the stories.

Part of life.

Now I have to remember whose guitar my dad bought.
