The Sinking of a Rock

You see. 
Pops is deep blue collar 
mixed with old school honesty...
he's no drama queen
He recently told me he's had 
a chain of strange- opaque dreams
about the nearing the end of his being.
If a lifespan were a baseball game
I think pops is in the ninth inning.

I think my rock is preparing me for his sinking
preparing me to swim off and go it alone
bracing me for the coming storm-be my own rock
Dear Lord, I'm praying so very hard for extra innings.
