Grassy Knoll
I am older now
than you were then.
That day still lives
in memory
Did you hear the rifle's
echoing sound
as you passed me
in your Limousine?
The next,
like a Zapruder film,
plays out
in my unsettled dreams.
I saw a spray of pink
and blood.
I heard shouts
and a woman
scream.
Panic filled
my childish heart
I saw fear in
my Father's face.
I am older now
than you were then
that day
the world changed.
