the last stop

as the young man

straightens his tie

and 

sits down,

he hands us a brochure

of the senior

home.

there's a pool he says.

inside

and out.

pickleball,

tennis for those who

still can

get around.

there's a cafeteria too,

bowling,

and if you go with

the two bedroom deluxe

unit,

you'll have a very nice

view

of the park.

there's a nurse on staff.

a cleaning

crew.

these units

will go fast,

so please, don't hesitate

too long.

you'll love it here

and they'll love you.
