No Man is an Island

I need time to think, he said and swam off to the Island.
It has been three days now and at night I see a flicker of a campfire.

Once a boy scout and a sergeant in Vietnam, he pines for the wild outdoors.
John, I told him, at ninety-two it’s time to relax and enjoy the sunset.

He didn’t retire they threw him out of Walmart.
Such anger.

In his mind he has become a wild adventurer.
Early signs of dementia the doctor pronounced.

He fretted about his Will, and laughed, you’ll be okay.
