MAN FOR HIS AGE
Care-worn
he leads
his guilt
free life,
turns
fears
into a
bar-room joke –
he never
fails
though
sometimes falls
a victim
to
“the
changing times”.
Suburban
heroes never weep,
they
share with celluloid
an
inability to bleed.
He veils
his sorrows in
a
sentimental song
and never
sins –
his
standards are complete
and up to
date.
A true
son
of a
dying race.
Malcolm Evison
