mind that was not there before...
clouds cover my imagination and
rain falls down on my fantasies...
neighbors point their fingers, laughing
at my inability to come to terms with
aging body that seems not to want to
respond the way it was a few years
ago when working in the yard... my
thoughts roll down the hill on which
we live, looking for another family
with which to live... my eyes shed
the tears that were loaned to me by
others who had real lives that had
fallen into ruin years ago as well...
together, we sit on the back porch
pondering our mutual decline as if
we were discusing a football game
where both our favorite teams had
lost after the two minute warning...
a distant sun sets behind the hills
where life shows no signs of going.
