Swansong

Laughing and crying at the same time, 

He lay there on the sidewalk,
staring at his life's only companions- the strings of his broken guitar.

Staring at his happy childhood; 

the heartbreak which taught him life's lessons; 

his first stage show; the last autograph; last bottle of rum; his last cigarette

And then he began to sing, for one last time, the swan song that he had penned long ago.
