Alone -- a Dark Poem for The Sunday Muse

  

Home Alone 

I'm here, all alone.  All alone except... 

Except that I do see my provider 

He brings me food and water now and then 

Now and then, because; when I do not know  

When's a nasty word to me, at his call 

He leaves my Cell with me, phone's disabled 

Disabled like I am, my mind is blank 

That's what he tells me, says to say to you 

So if you come then it is, move the wedge 

Wedge is gone, door can open, I'd be free

Cards -- Lost or misplaced?

          Cards; and a friend 

The little old man had fumbling problems 

Now again tonight at the register 

He couldn't seem to get his credit card 

Opened every pocket in his billfold 

It seemed to him a millennium passed 

Actually only a couple minutes 

and then I popped in with help on my mind 

I said to him, "Sir, hope it isn't lost" 

He let me check and sure enough not there 

"Would you please let me pay with mine, please, please"

Said this as I passed the card to the clerk 

He rung it up, "that's called paying ahead" 

"Thank you, thank you Sir" said the little man 

"I've had that done for me, comes in handy,"

Sometimes you gotta accept little helps 

And that little man, that was me one day
