the long reign of Ernie

in his
compression socks,
and black
beret,
his aviator sunglasses
tilted on
his scarred nose,
he sits,
still a king
in his lazy boy lounge
chair,
remote in hand.
crackers
and cheese on the tv
tray.
a bottle of Ensure
between
his knees.
children,
now old, at his
beck and call.
the king lives on.
