this old man

the hour late
the glass half empty
the cat asleep
under covers
on the bed
and this old man
gazes out
to the overgrown garden
in the dark
his mind five thousand miles
away

  1. So, you’ve live east and west… are you with the Reds or Dodgers? Me…if it wasn’t the Cubs or Brewers I am less than not interested. What an abomination of a World Series. But I suppose you might have some loyalty or other?

  2. So you went to Ebbet’s field as a kid? It’s nice they’ve preserved Wrigley field in Chicago. Connects a fan to something real even as players come and go. Well, wait till next year.
