YESTERDAY
I turn sixty-one this year
sixty-one…hard to believe
cuz I don’t feel
a day older than
……yesterday
at twelve got me a paper route
first real job if you don’t count
picking raspberries with my sister
twelve bucks a month I owned the world
…..yesterday
at eighteen got my diploma
and an invitation to be
all that I could be…or a commie
chose to go to school get edjicated
…..yesterday
at twenty nine married the
girl of my dreams proposed after
four days..she was crazy enuf to say yes
every day a dream til she passed away
…..yesterday
at forty eight I swooned the world
rode more planes than I can count
a mover and a shaker I was
gonna be a king of the hill
…yesterday
at fifty nine laundry place
gave me a seniors discount
whispering it was our little secret
thing is I ain’t pressed for time anymore
…yesterday
at sixty one I live by the sea
own house own beach own teeth
beer in the fridge..for a rainy day
enjoy a Cuban cigar thinking about
….yesterday
