Naught-Naught-Two  

© 2010 Olan L. Smith


I forget I forgot

Or at least I think I thought.

Perhaps it is a matter of purging my cranium

Of extra cobwebs and delirium.

It should be written or said

Someplace

That everything becomes fragile

When you reach a certain age,

Now, instead of agile

Every tendon

Rips, tears and wears.

If I had only known what I should of knew

I probably would not have braced

As my car hit that dear doe deer

On that fateful January day

In naught-naught-two.
