like an old pair of shoes
he
wasnt gonna throw them awaythey still had miles to go before they fell off his
feet
even if they were uncomfortable
he must have had something in
mind when he wrote thatscribbled it on a scrap of paper he used as a bookmarker
as he stoppedstood on a high bridge over the river
he laughed to himself
someone passing on the road behind him might think he was writing a suicide note
some
Buttinski
asif they had a right to interfere with anyones
exit strategy
some kibittzer
some twocenter
Mind your
own fuckin business
exit
strategy
an
old pair of shoesHmm maybe
he was thinking of himself when he wrote thatit seemed important at the time to
get it down he exhausted both sides of the scrap of paper
hed
correct thatremember to slip a whole piece of paper in a book so he wouldnt leave
himself highandry
if it had been a suicide
note hed have something to saynothing cryptic gallows
humour something worthwhile
itd be addressed
to his daughter to his partner in crime
if they wanted to share it that was their business
he always left them to
their heads
thats what he understood love to mean
uncomplicated
unmitigated
absolute
love
he didnt think an old pair of
shoes was an unlikely or unsavory comparisonhe made it a point to walk everywhere he went only occasionally yielding to take his car to save time
What are you doing, Dad? You
ought to bring your coffee outside and sit with the rest of the family, we have
only so much time here to enjoy them before we have to leave.
Yes I will
Everyone was cold when I woke this morningfound a note to
myself in a book I was reading Made some
coffee an sat down here not to wake anyone
Well, we’re all up now, sitting
outside on the patio in our robes yapping. Come out and join us.
I can do that
Right there
