The Golden Age
the little boy
saw the world
with his ears
before television
early 1930’s
radio’s golden age
eagerly waiting
to hear adventures of
sam spade
ellery queen
ozzie and harriet
to laugh with
abbot and costello
red skelton
burns and allen
to get the play-by-play from
don dunphy
joe dimaggio
ronald reagan
cheer for
green hornet
superman
lone ranger
be amazed by
Dr IQ
x minus one
scared by
dracula
tales from the crypt
terrified by
war of the worlds
to figure it out with
perry mason
sherlock holmes
charlie chan
to answer
the $64,000 question
now in the early ‘20’s
the golden age of cell phones
and internet
the blind old man
sees the world
with his ears

I feel this piece to my very core as my personal life's struggles are similar in nature... Your ink has imbued a beautiful sense of nostalgia while highlighting the memories that last despite the reality of what's ahead.
Thinking of you and your pop.
