Memory Eternal and a Gift
Card from Denny’s

“Memory Eternal”
A
cup of coffee is a chalice in its way
It
brings us all to a table of sharing
And
consecrates old friendships with every sip
Blessing
us at the end with an Ite of joy
But
today there was an empty place
An
empty cup, an empty plate, empty
Even
the air was empty, empty and void
With
a joke that wasn’t told today
Max
found a Denny’s card among his things -
Tod
treated us to breakfast once again
But
not for the last time
He’ll
tell us that joke at a more glorious feast
