Old man,
your memories
are worth
nothing
to me
I guess you could say ink and paper make the writer, and I guess that's why I choose not to use them.

Aging
An elderly couple
man's arm around
her waist
watching a baby in stroller
watching life
grow up
go by.

My Plastic Sunlight Room
The sunlight's got a look
like plastic out my picture
framed window, but inside against
the white paint chipped sill everything
looks old and dusty and oil painted,
I can see every layer of the third
dimensional space getting older
and even myself, my cells bursting,
dying, aging, bursting, dying, the slow
process of death washing over me,
inevitable,
I watch the plastic sun smiling,
giving off no heat, only shadow light,
but still beautiful and somehow new,
new even though it is
untold billions of years across time
and running the same old route everyday
unfathomable,
and I am here forgetfully insignificant
hung up mourning the irony of the number 27
