Old Fool's Daughter Died Last Year **

Here it is.  

(your) Death's anniversary.  
 
(Stupid question of every day,  
      "How can          it         be?").  
 
In  
de  
pen  
dence                  day.  
 
(as always) I curse this american  
       militant,  shallow,  
           indulgence.  
Then i recall the fun you and  
         Eliz had decorating the  
      Jeep for the neighborhood  
                 parade and going  
       to the lake for the big  
          bang'boom evening.  
Despite my churlish attitude toward  
       patriot holidays, I'd play along.  
 
Now, you're both long gone.  
                Nothing  
     left but my idiot weepery, old,  
      dis'eased, & most alone. No reason  
   to "play along" with anything, anywhere,  
        any one at all.  
            
Goodbye again.
