“To
Stand Patrol”
cji
8/25/12
Sadly I’m
getting too old
youth has
fully escaped
middle
age flown away
now
entering December
seems maybe
long ago
unable
to enlist any more
not
wanting in the parade
even
pushed aside often
blocking
another’s way
going to
the head of line
hearing
whispers of why
challenged
lost in thought
carried
back to the before
yet
taking up my weapon
the perimeter
to guard
maybe
for my last time
my watch
to stand patrol!
