Footnote at A Sanitarium
written by: James Gabriel
@James_Gabriel1
once dried out
now drunk
he fell
into the pool
at the sanitarium
while undergoing
treatment to cure
his alcoholism
too drunk
to swim
he drowned
now gossip
that the residents
talk over
while sunbathing
until
his ex-wife
marries an actor
of note
his demise
now a footnote
to a biography
Born and raised in Los Angeles, California. James Gabriel is new to poetry. Inspired by the small moments in life that add up to who we are as people.
