on old people
by Charlie Morganthey are of a plane of ephemerey;
sighted, glimpsed and never caught
in the act of being a human;
dressage made of puppy dog's tails,
crimsom petticoats and crinolines.
nights forever hiding the inches grown,
wisdom's bronzed as pairs of baby shoes.
soon to emerge; full-glory streamers on
every streetlight in the city.
as a generation of elders watch another
Macy parade of yesterdays lie; used. 11/22/2012 Author's Note: FINALLY BACK ON.
