Legacy Poem

Dear Mom ... I know now that it was your catholic (with a small cee) morality that got me through the worst of it and I did get through university and have advanced into old age without dying in prison (I got out in three) not bad for a Catholic with a large Cee . . . but what I wanted to say was no what I wanted to know was no maybe I just wanted to ponder the thought that a lot of it has sunk in by default and by and large you could now say at last that I turned out to be a good son that is if there is a way that you can see me from behind the old frame holding your fading portrait from a vanished time or from wherever you are now or marvel that I'm not down and out  on the street or that I have not gone insane because most of us who live in this sophisticated time can just fake it away with a capital Eff.
