Last year, I knew about the Apollo program.
And I knew about Dr. King
and Bobby Kennedy—each time,
Auntie Sachi kept the TV on
to hear the news
and cried.
When we could watch My Three Sons again,
we knew life was back to normal.
But I didn’t know about the two widows hugging each other.
One is Mrs. Kennedy, and the other is Mrs. King.
They both lost their husbands.
They both must have cried through boxes of tissues,
knowing they’d never see them again.
So, did they both wonder,
when Hogan’s Heroes came back on,
why their lives weren’t back to normal?
