Losing PAD 14-1

 Breakfast Conversation

 

“Iss bo to ra ay.”

“What?”

“Hiss bows to raytoay.”

“Try again.”

He has already taken a bite of toast.

He sticks up one finger,

I call his unicorn signal.

I wait.

He takes a breath and annunciates,

“It’s supposed to rain today.”

That’s how our conversations go

with him being a stroke survivor

and me losing my hearing.
