Practically New
i placed a for
sale ad in the
newspaper
with only X
amount of
words in
order to
describe
the item
intended
i bought it
in the winter
of my old age
thinking i can't
wait much
later but
spring
came
and i
felt
much better so
much better that
i wanted to sell
that which was
a reminder
of unkind
days
and
of
at
the worst of times
sleepless nights
but now i had
to dwell on
thoughts
again in
order to
word
that
just
right so that just
the right person
would purchase
that which i
had done
so down
on paper
i wrote
what i
wanted
that would make
a done deal rock
solid never used
as if brand
new a one
of a kind
hand
crafted
tombstone
just for you if
your
name is
Methuselah
