[bodytext] => Now I’m that old man people look through as if I wasn’t there, that seemed to come from out of nowhere each night with that mongrel dog of his dragging him on a clothesline leach, ten minutes after tomorrow’s paper hit the newsstand. That old man found, eighteen days dead rotting in his apartment, who’d picked his nose anywhere, cried at the birth of his children & grandchildren. Those that haven’t time to come visit. While he waits for a pension check to show up, in his twice broken into double locked mailbox. So he could buy himself heart medicine, ran out of a week ago. Now I’m that old man The one I shouldn’t have tormented when I was a kid. That old man who bother no one.
