A dream deferred

“I have a saxophone in the basement,” I said. “I’d like to clean it up so I can practice playing it again.”

“Why?” Poppy asked.

“So I can play saxophone solos,” I told her, “and maybe join a band.”

“You have a family already,” she said. “It’s too late. You should’ve done that in your earlier years.”
