old man
why do you smile so? gliding across the street in your little go-cart, silver hair glinting, you look like a king. we've all stopped for you. but even when it's time to leave, i keep watching as you roll out of my life and into others'. you lift your cane, wave at a curly-haired woman whose eyes are bright. you even start to whistle, i can tell by the way your mouth puckers up. you look up at the sky like it's yours. the cars are honking now. i better go. is it wrong to want to be old?

i think more people should want to be old. old people are cool. stupid culture doesn't think so, but thankfully culture doesn't determine what's true, just what people wish was true.
i totally agree, keith! :)
this totally made me smile! When you paint it like that, who wouldn't want to be cute and old and holding up traffic =)
love you!

Aaaw...he sounds like a little kid! Gaw, this is precious, " you look up at the sky like it's yours." That bit gives me such a good idea about this guy! I wish more people had confidence like that! Sweet write
