Everything crackles
My knees sound like static. I
pick up radio

(Pls pardon the non-haiku format.)

What was I going to say before
I walked in here through that door?
Why is it so dark
and the dog is beginning to bark?
Could it be she needs to go out?
My memory is in serious doubt.

(Ok...Let me try it):
Lost my train of thought
Often times I get caught fumbling fretfully
Can a good memory be bought?

Joints creaked painfully
Where was the Ben-Gay when she

Your music’s too loud
Can’t you just turn it down, punk
Why, back in my day...

Loudly, she talks of
weight she lost, ages ago
to laundrymat walls.

Lost daughter, he hears,
He folds alone, patiently
She stands there, talking

I remember when
due to mischievous pranks of children
got theme sent off to camps
by cagey Grammy and Gramps

She thinks she has nine,
but the word raced through Catville.
Twelve mew at her door.

His hand on his pants
Trademark stance for twenty years.
Buy new pants, old man.

that old bastard there
are you saying he's my age
damn he is my age

She won’t remember
his birthday or other days
and, it kills him, but...

She bore him his sons,
she gave him her beauty, and
he will never leave.

@Lash,

Frail, quivering, confused
She asked, "Are you my daughter?"
"Yes," I replied, "I am."

Then she got bossy!
"Well then, put my things away
I don't like a mess."
