“THIS THOUGHT”
by
J. H. Johns
(Copyright © J. H. Johns 2017)
This thought is-
the product of observing
the one-time
proud,
handsome,
attractive,
beautiful,
shapely,
fit,
strong,
determined,
enthusiastic,
cross-section
that you see in the supermarket;
now
committed;
relegated;-
imprisoned-
in the embodiment of what
they have unwittingly become.
