the cartwheel in the park

the old man
watches the children
in the park
doing cartwheels
and he remembers when he too
could lift himself
into the air
and set his hands to the ground,
legs going around
like a pinwheel.
he remembers, alright.
and feels that joy,
that same joy,
not sorrow, that soon
it will be
that long good night.
