Time Shot

Old man
waiting around
for nothing
in particular

Looks at his watch
which hasn't
worked in years

A gift from his wife
when she was still ticking

and keeping him focused

She used to always
get on his case
for being late

How ironic

She's grumbling now
as she awaits
her love in the afterlife

Silly old man  

Puttering these days

He's lost track of time
and time
has lost track of him
