Rip Van Winkle
It caught him
by surprise
the photograph
of he and her
kissing in
the living room
at his temples
the grey hair
plainly obvious
the young
woman kissing
the aging
poet, unaware
of his aging.
It’s all out
of context he
thinks, moving
aside the haiku
stencils, spray cans,
the paper
kites he’s building
spread out across
the wood floor.
