To Popeye & Co.

Peareye | by carnagenyc


Peareye [Washington, D.C.]: photo by carnagenyc, 14 April 2014

Age makes strange changes in Wimpy's
Face. Slowly what hid Swee-Pea's bones away
Un-knits. Gravity undoes Olive Oyl
Bit by bit, day by day accepted
And reality creeps in
Between the you
That exists
And the you
You merely dream, you who came
Before knew as we do, and equally
Did not speak of it! No you didn't Popeye!

TC:  To Popeye & Co. (excerpt), from At Malibu (1975)
