SPRAWL
That’s how he sat on the couch ….
That’s how he drove his big 2 door car ….
That’s how his living room looked ….
That’s how he laughed and told a story ….
That’s how he sat in a restaurant -
an empty chair on each side of him –
the rest of us on the edge and on our side….
You got to say, “He was consistent ….
He was open to what you had to say,
but you felt more like a couch pillow
than a person – your ideas or comments
would remain like
a half-eaten bag of chips ….
I think that’s why most people were past
history when it came to him …. We were
all going, going, gone …. Bye bye …. Bye bye….
