The End Is Near

The streets are clear, 
Gramps admits,
but the intersections 

are a problem.
The intersections
of his knees and hips   

scream about the years 
they've had to tote 
the silo of his torso.

His joyful pastor
every Sunday screams,
"The End is Near!" 

and Gramps agrees 
although he prays 
a diet might delay it.
