I was havin my coffeepapers, where I have them every day, and an older man came out of the store and sat down.He opened up a sandwich and started eatin. And his old, wrinkly hands were softly shaking.
It has ALWAYS freaked me out to watch older people eat. I don't know why. It just does.
He musta felt me get uneasy.
He asked me how I was doin. And i looked at him, and for whatever reason, didn't lie.
He listened to me for about 7 minutes while he ate. Just noddin.
I was starting to get more passionate, and I finally asked him what he thought.
He said, to just slow down.
"When you get to be my age, you only really remember the good. The bad goes away."
I sat there in a stupor. I could imagine him watching his children or grand children go through things, and him just havin a smile on his face.
Slow down.
Perfect.
Perfect.
