Array ( [sid] => 147469 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Sixty-seven years old. [time] => 2009-01-16 14:55:40 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Sixty-seven years old and he asks,
if I'm gonna give him a hard time?
Sticking a hunting knife in my stomach
just hard enough so I know.
He means business.
Sixty-seven years old
the age my old man died on the bathroom floor
or toilet, if you're looking to split hair here,but either way.
In his own home, not murdered
in a downtown alleyway, pushed into
by some crack-meth-head.
I'm moving to the country when this is all over
I think to myself,
as I hand over my just cashed pension check,
watch, and wedding ring.
There's gotta be a bathroom somewhere upstate
waiting to take me peacefully.

A sad story but I hope you find a nice place where people still care.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
