An old man with red eyes
tired face tauter
the awkwardness of small talk gone serious.
only two only two
life's precious, you know
red eyes now redder.
The pain of seeing a old man cry, the world goes awry.
But business never stops
and I pay as he sobs at the counter
I am ashamed of my paying and her indifference.
He smokes outside
eyes still red.
seems to think:
Are you still a grandfather when the child dies?
