his relatives are relative

as his nuclear family expands

        and he seems to be related 

     to all the people in all the lands

  how thoughts like these do twinkle

when space-time starts to wrinkle 

contemplating his ageing hands

 and relative to a baby’s bum

  this old man understands

what berefts a codger’s

   menial senile smile

shut in a dodger’s 

fluttering eyes 

far too many

light years

away

he is

is 

he

now

😉
