poem2

i do not wanna grow old

nor do i wanna be an old man

put into a home with invalids

where i piss and shit myself

this may or may not happen to me

in 3 or 4 or 5 decades time

sent to the knackers yard

totally fucked and unwanted

with faded tattoos 

and blank memory

too much beer

a million memories

all broken by time

now meaning what?

now to an old man 

dumped in a home

only he stopped that

by jumping off a cliff

the day before they came

they admired his spirit

he wasn't like the rest

regressing like babies 

soon to die

for what?
