The Codger

          ABC+-AC+-B+-BC+-Ba+-Bb+-CAa+-DABC+-CABaDb

do not worry about it do not worry about it at all only another novel fragment
that will be an entire book someday
with the plot structure stretched out capitals main lowercase sub
whatever whatever do not worry about it at all

the mongrel platitudes of your life
tell you to make sure that your god and your dreams
and your leftoverings are the right correct deservant of respect

he the old man codger who looks back and wishes to conjure up new
understands that fate controls more than what he has ever been able to do
life is a completion a complete a complete goat headed complete tragedy

the goat song makes us giggle as we cry
giggle as we cry
giggle as we try         the high
                       to hit             notes

in this society the codger hates the reality
those penis pills which point him aloft
allow him to sire children but it is stupid
it is the pain of emotional priapism
to parent from the nursing home
the son or the daughter's first words being
"daddy's dead"

goat head goat song tragedy codger
of eighty and nined yearage marrying
a woman of twenty to thirty with him knowing at the "I do" funeral of white

that it does not matter
if his god
and his dreams
and his leftoverings
are the right

correct deservant of respect

for he will be gone elsewhere to belong
as the grave has no periscope

all of it just a novel fragment of unjust fairness
a completion in treatment
