#321

a young man stares out from the photo, black-and-white
and my brain fights to accept this man is my grandfather
a restless stare, actively vacant
but the shape and the hollow cheeks hint of the grandfather yet to come
we move with time and time moves without us
time chugs over the tick of clocks
calendar is a word in a meaningless alphabetized book
