The Good Old Days
by Robert Tremmel

  1. There is a naked man
  2. sitting through yet
  3. another meeting
  4. where a woman
  5. he can't stand
  6. is saying something
  7. he disagrees with
  8. to a man
  9. he can't stand either.
  1. So, the naked man
  2. reads the posters
  3. on the wall
  1. studies the cheap
  2. reproductions
  3. of mediocre paintings
  1. and fantasizes
  2. about a meeting
  3. years ago, when someone
  4. set out a plate of cookies
  5. the naked man didn’t like
  6. and refused to eat.
