He talks at the table
in front of a well-obese one
the old lady
his mouth full
she tells him
in the face
about the nature of women
he can't know anything
until he realizes that he
after half a century
through the rain
goes back again
the jacket from
the armrest
poignant
so he comes
on the old familiar road
to the motherhouse
those present
in his past
in a way too late
