Now When I’m Old

I’m old now

and

still waiting

for someone

to make things right

out there 

where I tried

where I tried 

and still try

to make something 

my legacy.

Not someone.

I found someone

and many someones 

also trying

succeeding

and failing

remembered 

and forgotten,

but something 

they would say

was mine

something

I left.

I’m old

now.

but still 

I can

do

some

things

and later

I will watch the clowns
as they tumble in the circus

they have made their legacy.
