Yesterday, Today And Tomorrow
(Forty Six Years Ago)
****************
****************
A boy dropped out of school.
The next day,
he drank himself
into a stupor.
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.
