Back Next Arteriosclerosis

Senility swept
Itself
Into her veins
The doctors
Called it
Arteriosclerosis
She understood it
As islands
From eternity
What did she care
If she put salt
In her coffee
Or if she drank
Yesterday's tea
Hahahahah
What do they
Think?
That god wears a watch?

Irwin R. Shaw - November 11th 1982
