Not For Public Consumption ... 68 Year Old Boy Does So Declare

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Yesterday, Today And Tomorrow
(Forty Six Years Ago)

****************

A boy dropped out of school.
The next day,
he drank himself
into a stupor.

The next day,
his mother served him
his favorite breakfast.

It was the last meal
she ever cooked
for him.

By midnight,
she was re-united 
with his father
who had died
five days after
his fifty-fifth
birthday.

She was fifty.

The boy had to 
identify her body
at the city morgue.

According to
his driver's license,
the boy was twenty-two.

According to
his poetic license,
he was twelve years old.

He was escorted
to the city morgue
in a flashy sports car
by his estranged 
brother-in-law.

He could not wait
to tell his sister
that her -ex
was now ready
to be her 
un -ex

And that mistake
would ultimately
result in
the next funeral,
four years later

When his sister
was re-united
with her parents.

However,
in 2017,
the boy has no desire
to be re-united
with his
HOLY TRINITY
anytime soon.

All because he has
finally discovered
his better half.
