On the other side of sixty-five years old is...
the advancement toward something... horrifying!

THE OTHER SIDE OF SIXTY-FIVE
(Galveston, TX)
The definition of horror is surviving so long as a black man in these United States of
America!
I have seen/experienced some things, both horror and terror related, in my long black life!
I now am staring at my face in my bathroom mirror, tracing the lines of a hard life across
my face!
And I do realize the ultimate horror is soon to terrorize me through my age... that, being,
death is staring right back at me in my eyes!
