When his wife, Jessica,
A stabilizing influence on him, died
Dan returned to the wild ways of his youth
Drugs, alcohol, badass attitude
Robbed a liquor store in Stoneham, MA
Shot the clerk and got away
Drove to Abilene, TX the next day
Stopped at a convenience store
In Canton, OH to rob it on a whim
Lazy-eyed teenage girl at the counter
Quick drawed a gun and shot dan dead
Teenage girl behind the counter
Psychopathic pretty in pink killer
Who shot the real counter guy
And posed as easy prey employee.
If only Dan’s wife hadn’t died.

Age 80. Cancer survivor since 3 years ago. Work out 3 times a week. Ride my exercise bike 2 hours a day. Live a solo reclusive life. Retired a year ago from working with the elderly in a nonprofit. Started writing poetry a little over a year ago; most poems I write are fictional but some are not. Spiritual with a permanent spiritual experience. Write poems on many subjects. Always researching for many of my poems and because of my unquenchable thirst for knowledge. After reading and hearing about many near death experiences and death bed visions, I believe death is the ultimate awakening and the relocation of a lifetime. You may believe differently, but you have the right to be wrong -- I'm just messing with you. :-)
