Status Report 75
Wife is younger by two decade seven
The pluses are endless,
the love true
but two darks brew
I’m older sooner sicker frail finder
hence death is due to brew reminder
and she wonders how I can just sit and silent toke
and stare out window betting traffic color light
while she stresses struss of work
of life of love of irk
and I tell her truth
I did my stressin’ struttin’ fretful fussin’
in those 27 years of older
got most of it over
and done
now sitting willing in waiting sun
and her use
– Smith, 9.5.2015
