OLD MAN’S QUESTION
At what point does the hearing of the young
Laughing an attractive laugh
Not overcome?
–
When will a young woman not catch
An older man wanting to rehatch
His youth and that one catch?
–
When will these feelings go away,
The need to be loved
And the fear of betrayed?
–
Some parts of him will never subside
For they’re part of his being,
Some things that abide…
A part of him remains young.
