became ill suddenly
had a turn
THE UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF BEING
old
took a rest on the stool
the grand opening
he had just attended
was a bit overwhelming
ON EARTH WE'RE BRIEFLY GORGEOUS
he forgot about his use by date
he felt out of place
too much champagne
normally a reserved type
he found himself flirting
with the young girls in the choir
a twinkle in his eye
he is thinking about
THE FOREST OF HANDS AND TEETH
BEAUTIFUL RUINS
in a past life
raising a glass in cheers to them
he throws kisses and fifty dollar notes
all together
it was a tad too much at his age
at least it was better experiencing
love in the time of Covid than
he forgot about his use by date
he felt out of place
too much champagne
normally a reserved type
he found himself flirting
with the young girls in the choir
SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES
a twinkle in his eye
he is thinking about
THE FOREST OF HANDS AND TEETH
BEAUTIFUL RUINS
in a past life
raising a glass in cheers to them
he throws kisses and fifty dollar notes
(this happens when one has been living a life like
ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF SOLITUDE)
all together
it was a tad too much at his age
at least it was better experiencing
love in the time of Covid than
LOVE IN THE TIME OF CHOLERA
