For Those Who Wish To Die Younger... Poem by RIC BASTASA

For Those Who Wish To Die Younger...



to be candid, i do not intend
to grow old with some dead leaves
on that cold pond,

i am not your haiku,
i am the elegy of the middle aged man
who leaves an oral tradition

a poetry to the world
with no trace of any lyric

i already sound like a dirge
dig it.

i do not grow old.

(it is nicer that way,
early to go and
still be wise) .
