It Has Come to This


And so it has come to this…
I have said that a lot in my
lifetime of seventy-one years.
And then I’ll remind myself,

of course it does. Something
always comes of it, whatever
it is, something always does.
Now, it may be something of

little consequence, perhaps so
minuscule I’ll ignore or shrug
it off as nothing. And yet I’ve
always managed to go on,

haven’t I? Somehow, given the
magnitude of some of those things
which have come to this, I have so
far been able to muddle through.

One day, after the millionth time,
it has once again come to this, not
the first time. And predicting from
my past, not the last. For posterity

sake, let’s say, I have decided to sit
in my place today and write about
the damn thing…So, it has come to
this, and like it or not, it always has.
