| the great equalizer |
| by Jack T. Marlowe |
| when i was younger
i used to say that god made stupid people so the rest of us could feel better about ourselves and it was good for a laugh at the time but when middle age sneaks up and sucker punches you the knuckles of time smashing into your mouth give you a little taste of mortality and you don't feel so smart any more when the reality hits you that once we're horizontal beneath the St. Augustine we'll all be stupid in our silence the one blessed difference between now and then being that no one ever has to tell the dead to shut the hell up. |
