July 29th, 2007 — Growing Older, Quickies
The old man sitting next to me
Was searching for his ticket.
He said he’d looked in all the places
Where he would usually stick it.
I told him, “Tell me where you’re going
And I will gladly pay your fare.
He said, “That’s why I need my ticket,
It’s how I’ll know when I get there.”
