Warf Rat

Old man down
"Old man down!"
the cry came
over the ship

in any corner of 

the world…

"I remember when

you could talk to people

that's all I remember."

"I know that the life I'm

living's no good…where

can I live the life I should?

I'll get up and fly away."

He didn't get up… not

in this life anyway…

did we?
