whistler
ancasa.reyn i am a whistler
my dad was a whistler
i don't know about his father
as he was dead and gone
before i came around
he probably whistled though
he made candy
for most of his life
so i imagine
he had to do
something
while waiting for
sugars to congeal
and harden
and cool

once
while helping
a friend
with her car
on a busy city street
i was complimented
on my whistling
that was nice
i can't
for the life of me
recall the song
i was whistling
but it might have been
something from the 1960s
maybe even sonny and cher
which i find a bit odd
since their music
rarely comes to mind

some people
don't like whistling
or hate whistling
a friend once said
she couldn't bear
to live
with someone who whistles
and i thought
wait
you play
the accordion
