Deep green sparks fell in the afternoon light, but Hank found himself more concerned with the man who no longer needed crutches. A father he has always called him, checking him up every morning to take his coffee, he remembered it was this same coffee that brought them together. Just one coffee, and a lifetime of friendship was formed.
Though he loved reading papers of any kind, so far it's a printed something, he moves and shakes his body at the comprehension of poetry, he so much loved it that his much talked addiction to the Sun newspaper was because of a column there that constantly shuns out good poetry and ranks them, giving the reader too an opportunity to vote for their best poem. A kind of feedback from both the reader and the writer.
One was the dirge of all dirge, and it goes thus :
over the top of your home
Sipping the morning coffee
Hoping time will pass
Touching the grey beards
Reminiscing on the lost childhood.
It passeth, no man knows it not
Dirge of all dirge are we
Man groan as his time passeth him.
When I called to check in with him a couple of months ago, he told me how touched he was about making some good music with those lyrics in the papers, I reluctantly digressed him out of it, what would an old man like his do with music, it's not a plain chant of an orthodox hymn. So who would listen to such in a world dominated by wacky entertainers and DJs.
I made it known to him the world we live in never cared about good music with good lyrics anymore, we now opt for beats, synthesizers and wacks.
I should have made him do the music thing, he left us alone and went his way home yesterday.
