old gold

old gold is what I call a man who buys the old gold cigarettes.

he's short, thin, wears a blue jean jacket. a fluffy white beard and medium length pure white hair. parted down the middle. sad, sad eyes.

today i saw him outside of work. we pulled up next to each other at a stop light.

"hey how are you today?" he said.

"fine. how are you?"

"just fine."

the light turned green.
