the old man reads the newspaper

 the old man reads the newspaper


on top of the sand dune of news,

his feet ~ two, up, one, back,

on his perspective 

of things past, when caring meant 

something was going to change, and 

his viewpoint could change and 

could change something;

now

his sigh passes over all,

stirring in the shade the crepitations 

of the fallen leaves of a broadsheet;

cold the news but hot sipped the tea.

and me?

well, i looked out of the window,

so as not to intrude.
