single at 50 <br />it is his birthday today <br />and he sits there on the bench <br />with blank eyes <br /> <br />(i am unkind to ask <br />what sins must his father commit <br />to punish him now?) <br /> <br />(i am judgmental. <br />i am silent. i look at him with curiosity. <br />as though he is a stray cat <br />on the road, deserted by <br />the bitch) <br /> <br />his hands are clasped. <br />he looks bound. <br /> <br />got no girlfriend at 50 <br />(but he is not gay <br />in fact, he had many girls <br />around him. <br />a harem of his <br />Arabian nights, but he has lonely eyes <br />white skin, <br />frail bones, he is losing hair) <br /> <br />got nothing, despite <br />his fortune and luck. <br /> <br />another lonely creature in court. <br />lost dragonfly <br /> <br />wanting to be crushed by a hammer.<br /><br />RIC S.
