& AGAIN: "YES!"
He stepped out of
the photo
stretched and
gave a great yawn.
He had been standing by that
wall it seemed forever.
The sun shone
in black&white.;
Outside it was
night.
He had never seen his grandson
who lived in colour
on the mantlepiece just
newly born.
He strode out boldly
in 3-D
with the strange gait of a 2-D'er
trying to put his best foot forward.
It was a long long way to
the photo of Tipperary
and the smiling newborn boy
but by God he made it.
His grandson lay smiling
in a shaft of sunlight
that rocked him gently
and gently.
He stepped into the colour
and turned into a nice sepia.
He held his grandson
against his chest
smiling
in Kodachrome.
Then put him back
in the frame.
He managed to return
to his own black& white
as headlights travelled
across the ceiling
before the telephone rang
and the morning awoke
and sleepy feet from above
went to answer it with a yawn:
"Yes...yes. . ."
& again:
"YES!"
