Just the Way of the Aged
Plastic cups, filled with medicine;
Little preschool boys and girls with revelations;
I am part of the new reunion;
It's just an opinion;
Are you gonna get that purple visions of retaliations;
Kool Aid made from Nebraska;
What time is it any way?
Who canceled my New York Times paper;
NO, NO I AIN't NA ENABLER;
a fabric washed and worn over and over again until it's tattered and torn
a blade of grass, a flower in summertime burning under the sun
a pot left on the tip of the stove burning beyond over cooked charred
Sunset to dawn,
a new birth day month, year, gone
Just
The
Way
of
the
Aged
