My mother never laughed at my jokes

Cheered when I hit a homerun
Agreed that my wife was quite the catch
Or cried when I died
My mother put me up for adoption
when I was two-years old

If love were as I imagined it to be
Never would I have been born
But instead in
another dimension
no one would ever see
I would dance in sensual dreams
At my mother’s funeral

My mother was the greatest magician
I never got to see
Disappearing soon after my birth
Leaving me with troubled thoughts
vivid imagination
searching soul
destined to always be lost
She left me no message
no forwarding address
no treasure map at the end of the road
I looked for her
She didn’t look for me
So now at age 71
I will stop looking on social media
for her
and delete my hashtag

I tell people here in Thailand
I am Australian
They say but I sound American
I don’t carry a gun so obviously I am not
I reveal that the Statue of Liberty was my mother
She originated in France
If only I could learn to laugh in Thai
I could join in with their foreign humour

My mother was a tragic comic figure
Leaving me
before a hero
could save me
from myself
