So, I sit and wonder
     laughing at my
inability
     to surf the
Internet
as I scratch my gut
     reminding me that
     I’ve lost my desirability
to the young and beautiful
     and, ask myself why
     why, damn it!?
Why?
How has it gotten this way?
     and here I am again
     another weekend alone
clutching my remote control
     eating macaroni
and cheese
     in my luxury Florida beach home
an old guy and a hundred houseplants
     tropical fish and a dozen
wind chimes
     given up on
material dreams
watching my sons become alcoholics 
     and my cock
     go unused
