Alone To the Movies

ALONE TO THE MOVIES* I went alone to the movies for the first time in my life, that was without a date or without a wife. And as I watched the film go by I really felt no need to cry. For I am still alive to do as I might, during any day or any night. I must enjoy my remaining time Be it movies or shows or just things sublime. So I will, by golly, be happy and jolly wherever I go and whomever I see; alone or not I will always be me. * I didn't go to the movies alone until months after my wife passed away. When I finally did go I had to write a poem about the experience.
