DEATH  OF  A  SALESMAN

 

Arthur Miller was right!

All of us are salesmen

selling ourselves and who

and what we are and have.

And we age. We’re not wanted.

We’re neglected and rejected.

Heck! I’m almost 84.

I know what I’m talking about

and when I talk I’m cut off

for younger conversations.

So Arthur Miller, thanks

for putting it into words

and for putting it on stage.
