Catch-22
80 years old now,
An old man,
Alone,
Sits on the porch
Of his million dollar
house
Reminiscing about
His old love
His only love
Of times long ago
When they were young
In love
And so foolish
Or maybe both
To think
That it would
Last forever
Of times long ago
When he had to choose
What he wanted
His goal
Of becoming like his
father
Or his love
With this boy
Whose smile was
intoxicating
80 years old now,
An old man,
Alone,
Sits on the porch
Of his million dollar
house
Reminiscing about
His old love
His only love
Of the way
They used to be
Or maybe
Just his smile
