Plastic grocery bags
serve as briefcases containing
vital documents necessary
for maintaining his sanity.
Senior coffees and crossword puzzles
serve both as clutter and decoration.
Pearls of wisdom are adorned
as jewelry of his generation.
Holding court and seeking
Validation for a life well lived
And proof of an importance
Of a substantial existence,
pointing out the passing girls,
once beautiful when
he was young.
