The Elderly Man's Made a Pass At Her

the elderly man's made a pass at her i witnessed the saddest thing I've ever seen in a long time i hope it's not a premonition my life playing out before my eyes there's a couple sitting across each other eating breakfast at a jack-n-box another normal day i thought wait before going further no it's not crack-in-the-box, like how she used to call it that clowness okay let me continue so there's this couple and the reason i'm dwelling on this is that the elderly Japanese man had to be near eighty and the women, Hawaiian-mix, around five years younger and no connie's not from Hawaii but then again that might be a red herring so no one can accuse connie of being a sneak anyway the elderly man eating his breakfast pauses, looks over and sees his sunshine across the restaurant he goes over, nice now i'm watching intently at my romeo , my hero he can barely walk, gimping along however i do admit he had nice thick white hair he ask if he can join her so harmless, i thought she said candidly, no i'll be alright those were her exact words no remorse for his feelings, nothing i kept watching ... this was good the human emotion the tears in his eyes the blood draining from his face he cleared his throat went to refill his drink and out of her presence he cried deeper now keep in my i watching the human emotion the tears running down alongside his cheeks so raw a picture, a kaleidoscope of dejection i saw flashbacks of my own, too two near eighty years sharing the same emotion as a youngster would i felt his pain, so sad he had just finished eating and went back to get another breakfast platter to curb, i guess, his depression, shake off the sadness the women she kept looking towards me i couldn't begin to think what was going through her mind then i began to think the stretches of gods reach why did he allow me to witness his message today connie pachecho 1/24/17
