Look For Me

[ICSoria]

(The other side of dignity)


I'll be the person you see feeding
all the pigeons, birds and ducks;
Wending through the outlet malls,
yelling gruffly at the grand kids
when they say my music "sucks."

I'll be the one who's taking
those extended midday naps.
Walking into church each week,
in high-top tennis shoes and slacks--
wearing goofy baseball caps.

Harassing tellers when I cash my check
because, they should respect our age;
“Serve us quickly--after all,
we built this country and your bank--
our discount fees help pay your wage!”

I'll be spitting on the sidewalk,
while I'm scratching my behind,
sitting on my front porch swing,
chasing children off my lawn,
while sucking on a lemon rind.
