Tank, my friend

Old friends, old friends sat on their parkbench like bookends

tanksong1
A newspaper blowin’ through the grass

tanksong
Falls on the round toes of the high shoes of the old friends

tanksong5

Old friends, winter companions, the old men

tankselfie

Lost in their overcoats, waiting for the sun

tanksong6
The sounds of the city sifting through trees

tanksong7
Settles like dust on the shoulders of the old friends

tanksong8

Can you imagine us years from today, sharing a parkbench quietly

tanksong9

How terribly strange to be seventy

tanksong4

Old friends, memory brushes the same years, silently sharing the same fears
