Dotage
 
How would / will I know
with no one to observe
Tell me
Remind me
Write it down. . .
 
Living alone
Having chats
Acknowledging
affirmations
without a different
point of view
 
Yes, I’ve read up on
the symptoms of
ancient aging
diseases  
passed on DNA
(hoping it skips a generation)
But how would I even  
be aware if I became. . .
 
As I grow older & fatter
I have put a laminated
note on my bathroom ...

I went to church every Sunday
worked my hands to the bones
made good money
bought me and my wife a home
we had big dreams
most of them fell short
rented an R.V.
was gonna travel the roads
too many responsibilities
set that on the back burner
got into politics
voted conservative like my father

no one is ever prepared for tragedy
lost my job, my dog
tried to keep it together
but nothing seemed to go right
worked a few dead end jobs
never got far
it's hard to start over when you're older
took...

Good Morning,

You did one thing wrong, you woke up
If I haven't told you before
I'm sick & tired of this rut

As my stomach turns
Acid reflux burns
I know exactly what I must do

I know how you feel,
when you eat a meal
Go look in the mirror

Can't look at you,
you're busted every morning

My headache is now gone,
relieved we have no spawn

Use to be a naughty ass slut,
now all you want are glazed doughnuts

Doesn't matter how much you think
or the number of hairs in...

i had
heard that
all dogs
go to
heaven,
i even
watched
the animated
movie,

wouldn't it
seem fair
to know
that heaven
would show
the same
consideration
and privileges
towards cats
as well?
