the mountain hike has become tradition
he and his wife climb the mountain each June 30th
this year is beautiful weather, though there is an autumn'ish breeze
below, in the valley, on their kitchen table, sit all the joke cards
staples for a 50th birthday
as they descend
the man tugs a lock of greying hair between his thumb and index
struck at how fast the trail passes now
the same distance up as down
but time is not as constant as we would believe
