Places

 

Apartments, so many places

I have been and lived.

Small places, studio

and one bedroom mostly.

Being a photographer and

artist I would decorate

the pale white walls with

my own work, adding

some picturesque interest

to the dull surroundings

of my existence. Now,

having grown older

and likely facing the

last place I’ll be

occupying for the

rest of my life, on these

dull bare walls, I have

decided not to hang

any of my works.

Old age, you know,

should you live to be,

it only grows and grows.

And for me, nowhere

else to go. I’ve already

been.
