The old man with the pipe

"Old man with a pipe" Original painting and picture by Susano Alberto Gutierrez

Spanish version “El viejo y la pipa“.

I bought an outfit for an event I’m not going to attend

I keep waiting for someone who never said “I’ll come back”

Keep peeling so someone else can suck

Keep sharpening and never sharp

I keep wanting, but I’m not able to

And I’m not sure if I should join you

Not sure how that will go

No one who’s done it

has given me feedback

Five years with the ghost of you

You within, you without.

In memory of my late grandfather, Alejandro Sánchez. Rest in peace and in jokes papá. :-)
