Old men run again - Oct. 8, 2020

in the hustle for a sure heaven

old men learn to run again

as good seats become available

posted on death’s door

that sky promises an open road

and a slew of inns for the trip

though joy doesn’t sleep

and time never pays

how wonderful and comforting it must be

to have purchased belief insurance

for a platinum after-life while others

place their arrows in the bow of fate

and wait petrified to find out

what kind of tour

they’ve booked
