0011 Senior Shitizen Or, Old Age

Rating: 2.0


You never did
sort yourself out
so there's no point now
going over all that

all you want to do
all you've got time for
is to open your arms
eyes heart etc
to everything,
everyone

hoping not too many people
laugh or make it
difficult for you
standing bemused
with open arms
on the traffic island
by the crossroad

I love this Michael! I like how it started out (I thought) pretty serious.....introspection on life, then ends up with such a vision! Made me smile this morning. Thank you! Sincerely, mary
