The Old Soldier |
She used to call me Daddy |
But she was so glad she |
Left me for someone he was |
Rich but not too funny |
Why do I come to these things? |
It always makes me think of Marion |
Come to these places and talk about commies |
It’s all about money |
I could never give her the things she wanted |
But I never thought she’d leave me for money |
God, it’s hot |
I can still feel her body underneath my hands |
Still feel the breath on my neck |
Still feel the slight dampness of her perspiration |
On her silky wrist |
I can’t do it again |
I can’t come to another one of these ridiculous reunions |
And watch old men getting drunk on nostalgia |
Reliving their imaginary glory |
And making me realize that I must look exactly like them |
It’s too painful |
I need the illusions of an aging safety equipment salesman |
Whose young but not so bright wife |
Is willing more than to tolerate his unpleasant but harmless |
Flights of fancy |
At least she’s mine |
