What would we do? What if one day, all the old men went away? The corner diner,has less coffee drinkers. No one buys,The white Nike Air. Who would change, the furnace filters? And make surethe light switch is off. Who would change the oil,at exactly three thousand miles? Who would rake the leaves,and let themContinue reading “No More Old Men”

The Campsite
A secret place of old High above that ancient strip pit.Now filled with water a million feet deep.Sits that old campsite, where we went as kids.That sacred place with a stone ring built years ago.

Escape
Just go to where I belong. I want to escape from here,and not care to look back.To where I’m truly known,and free to be, me.
