The Old Man's Story
May 15, 2014
A piece of paper,
pair of lips,
A kind man's story
barely fits
Inside the space,
inside the time
Of every day
that passes by.
He tries, he hurries
rushing on,
To fit his words,
but they're too long.
He pushes, pulls,
screams and kicks,
But nothing makes
his story fit.
Still he speaks,
and still he writes
As he tries to win
the pointless fight.
And finally
with his last breath-
His story's done,
he triumphed death.
