He lived and died in the house on the corner
I refer to the couple who now own it as The Old Man
the buyers are fixing up before moving in
kitchen and bath badly want updating
two or three men and several women are there throughout the day
they carry in cleaning supplies and tools
grey hair and a minivan might be the parents
when they arrive I tell my wife
    The Old Man is here
she asks
    Did you see who it is?
once or twice I’ve reported at night
    The Old Man left on the attic light.
