The Unattended
The old man
Slow and tumbling
Always grumbling for nothing
Has an insanitary habit of finger-licking
Always enjoys digging mucus in the nose
Saliva always being used to flip a page
Always bites to open a knot
Water tap always being left turning on
Always a careless choking on food or water
Resembling a big baby on care
But always being left alone and unattended
Because he always causes trouble
And he has long been used to making troubles
And living with troubles
And so now he's left alone with his troubles
Alone with his mind-set troubles
The troubles caused by old age and its innocence
