An old man who
Sits on the
Park bench
Feeding pigeons
Who looks like
Everyone's
Grandpa
Except for
The words
In the shape of
A plaque
Tattooed on
His forearm
In Nam
In Vietnamese
Which read;
You may have
Killed me but
My spirit shall
Haunt you the
Rest of your
Days
And your family
Is now cursed
Forever
