Two For Time

By butch

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I met an old woman today I helped her with the laundrymat machines. she was very happy, sweet little thing, she reminded me of my grandmother. my grandma, when drinking would give me a big mushy kiss, and I always wiped it off, and she would laugh, I remember one time we got in a taxi and went to the Horseshoe club, to get my grampa. they argued all the way home, and she went to bed and he reheated some chili and fell asleep. smoked up the whole house. everyone woke up panicked, and he still slept. Grandma was so mad. he laughed the next day. I used to go with him when he visited the local clubs in the daytime, to fix the beer boxes. he knew them all and, he never charged. he was a good man, she a good woman. married for almost 60 years, they both died too young, for me anyway.
