The Old Man Remembers

  • Print
Kick him hard 
... he feels nothing,
Pull out his teeth 
...we weep with him
Do something horrid 
...he forgets it in a sec
Offer him kindness 
...he remembers it forever 
He loses a child 
...the herd grieves with him
Show him what he looks like 
...he says what's that 
We try and tell him
... he says try again.
