getting deaf and going bald

Olive Trees With Yellow Sky And Sun, Vincent Van Gogh

**

I'm tired of seeing humans   talking to them 

and I'm tired of having humans speak to me 

why can't they just shut up and go away 

not my wife of course   I like her a lot 

and not the guy who fixes me car 

everyone else    out 

I'm putting my foot down at last 

**

I ripped the band-aid from my wound long ago 

that way fresh air and sunshine could get to it 

and help it heal    also people could see it 

why hide a perfectly good wound 

some asked if the wound was real 

or did it hurt    yes it's real I said 

but somehow it doesn't hurt anymore 

**

yeah    my knees are shot 

my left hip and my lower back 

also hurt quite often 

I'm getting deaf and going bald 

and it's harder to remember things 

there's a lot of me that's messed up 

but my heart 

man   that's golden

I have always believed, and I still believe, that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way we can always give it meaning and transform it into some thine else.
