“Snyder had a scar” by John Yamrus

Published by

on

Snyder had a scar

that ran
from the bottom
of his ear to the bottom of his neck.

he had
white hair
and a white beard

and
was drunk
more often than not.

the
smartest
thing he was
known to say was
when he told little Billy Kramer

that
if he ever
got in a fight in a bar
he ought to back himself into a corner

so
no one
could hit him from behind.

Snyder also said
a journey was no damn good

unless
you rode it to the end.

last year
Snyder got cancer
and rode his journey to the end.

he was 83.
