Not So Famous Last Words

 

Sitting in my place, Sunday, 8AM,


staring at a blank page, considering


what to write today.



Any ideas? What have you to say?


How’s life treating you, anyway?


Oh me, for the present, the time being,


I’m situated old and gray. That’s okay


as things go, you know, given my


waning physical capabilities and


advancing age.



Posted some of my photos from past


days on Facebook. As for me, the


future holds hope that I can maintain


with the faculties in me which remain.



Why is it that most books wind up with


a blank page at the end? I’ll leave that


for the publishers to explain. Has some-


thing to do with even and odd numbers,


I suppose.



That’s pretty much sums it up—


just the way life goes, even days


and odd. And at the end, blank,


there’s nothing left to say.
