Poetry in Real Time #6

I found myself
on an elevator
with an elderly man
who I'm sure 
had just shit his pants

He must have noticed me
looking at his tattoos
so gave me 13 stories worth
of a history lesson
before the door opened
at his floor

I held my breath
out of respect

Poetry in Real Time #6

I found myself               there could be a double meaning here
on an elevator
with an elderly man
who I'm sure 
had just shit his pants

He must have noticed me
looking at his tattoos
so gave me 13 stories worth
of a history lesson
before the door opened
at his floor

I held my breath
out of respect

Hey Tiger,
Another good one.  Again, love the ambiguity of the last lines.
thanks for the read,
steve
