I see a man
Near my age
Maybe white hair
amd a few wrinkles
Sitting in his room
A computer for company
Alone with his thoughts
Waiting for commas and periods
To find their way
Into his maze of memory
And life today
Writing for posterity
And me
The words surround him
Like bees on a hive
He is still
Except for his fingers
Dancing over the keys
Rolling the dough
To form words like a pies
Fine for my eyes
Good for my mind
Whenever he's done
And the oven is off
A piece of that pie
Flies through the air
To find me watching
As I open my email
For my piece of pie
To find David waiting
