The house I grew up in
Is now a rental property
Students
Short term leases
And such
In the near
Four decades since
It must have had
Dozens more
Impressions
Wonder
If mine still
Hangs round there much.
I think about death.
And when I take my last breath.
Will someone be there.
Or will I die all alone.
Sitting in my easy chair.

There's a rare aroma
If you think you've got the nose
So High and subtle
To not many exposed
It's the fragrance
Released by grass
Just before it gets mowed
Washed with notes of
Acceptance and Terror
It knows it part
You might suppose.

Stacking up bricks
Taking em down
Not having the nerve
To apply mortar
To make em sound
Never even
Mixed any
Cos it would harden
While on the ground
Stacking up bricks
Taking em down.

Flurry of cats
sonic boom
glass down
man down

next stool over

Life's slow--
then it's
fast

day
night,
jammed
into
nothing
