Grandpa

As if there weren’t
Any other way
Of seeing things

My grandpa talked to me
About work and money

And asked whether
What I had been doing
Since quitting my job
Made any

If it didn’t
Then he didn’t
Want to hear about it

Writing,
Especially poetry,
Doesn’t make much

So we didn’t have
Much to talk about
