Frail Old Man

Frail old man holding thoughts as well
as my strainer leaking noodles of
yesteryear to eat for the first time.
Fifty-two years soaking in my own brine
without that shooter to guide me-
now the meatball is here and I see
no more wisdom than what I found on my own,
muddling through marinara fields in search
of parmesan to sprinkle on this dish of my life.

I just made a vegetarian pasta bake
I just made a roof
I just made a life
I just made a hole
I just made myself
The rain I like it upon my face
in the cold
with the wind blowing
The father suffered his suffering
never knowing
just where he was going
My dad left when I was a kid
But maybe if he hadn't
there would still be this disconnect
And I'm just like I am
open like a book
with the pages flyin
in the wind
I like this write Invierno
Being Irish I'm not sure I grasp it's full meaning
But I do like the food.
Peace! |
