Ayaz Daryl Nielsen- Three Poems

I’m not an aging person
my buddy Super Bruce states
I’m an aging drunk



gleaming hands
the finished scars
like rainbows



Yes sir and yes madam,
I’m telling you true, I
won't sell myself short
because, of course, you
know of my, umm, my
difficult to come by,
hard to explain, ummm,
same as a drawer full of
clean socks and underwear.
