YEAH YEAH YEAH
:: POETRY

These are mostly old ones I've stuck in the retirement home for the time being. I know most of them aren't done. But at a certain point, a doctor must look a patient straight in the face and say "We're doing the best that we can. You'll just have to wait."

These poems are in the waiting room. But it might help if you came every once and a while for a visit. You know, talk to them a little, even if you don't understand what they're saying (and doubt very seriously if they're saying anything at all). They're old and drooly. Just laugh quietly. They won't even know that you're laughing at them.
