Verse: as an old man, solo

Posted by: Megan

J.D. Nelson

when I'm an old man,
will I have to be a
"general"
or a
"wizard,"
or will I get to choose?

I'd take
"beachcomber"
or
"hermit"
any day.

I'm learning how to live
as an old man, solo.
as long as I have a radio
& some peanut butter crackers,
I'll be all right.

I'm crazy from holding on.
I'm laughing like a little boy.
