The Senile Brigade Poem by Juan Olivarez

The Senile Brigade

Rating: 5.0


I have become
A magnet.
For every teller
Of tall tales.
For every set
Of tired legs
Looking for shade
And a chair.

For every recipient
of a monthly allowance
From Uncle Sam.
For every old timing man
Smelling of cumin
And old spice.

For all the senile citizens
That seek
A little company
And a kind word
While shooting the breeze.
The senile brigade.

Glean all the wisdom you can (if there be any!) while they're around.
