Yesterday's Man

Born  in the time of dirt roads
And radio news
Grew up with drive in theaters
In the back seat with Suzie Q
Returned from foreign shores
With PTSD before
PTSD was invented
Hiding from the demons
Behind booze and magic weed
Lost in love
She was wed to past mistakes
I now sit lost
In an era well past mine
Not knowing what tomorrow brings
Or understanding today
