Mr. Clark
"I worked all my life…
age 15 to 82."
Today, he's decided to retire.
"I'm paintin' my house,"
he says.
"Don't it look good?"
Mr. Clark was in the Navy.
"I went to two wars," he says.
"It wasn't like it is today."
Mr. Clark watches CNN.
"I don't know why they killed Sadam…
All that gold and oil.
Somebody got rich."
Mr. Clark was a country boy
from north Louisiana.
"Farming was all we had back then…
farming those white people's land."
When Mr. Clark went to the war,
he left some money for his Grandma.
"So she could buy her tobacco…
and her Maxwell House.
Go to the store and get some other kind of coffee?
You'd catch a whippin' for that."
"It wasn't like it is today,"
says Mr. Clark.

"Destiny Lives Down the Road". Final Shot and Final Words.
and stick things out,
and there are those who are the pioneers.
She feels like being a pioneer.
Both paths are hard to travel.
Both roads come with tragedy.
She'd rather take the tragedy she doesn't know.
Because...there may be some joy sprinkled in there too.
Here, there is no joy,
and she can see her life mapped out for her
in a perfect train wreck.
If she is going to crash and burn,
she'd rather not see it coming.
She'd rather a surprise.
And then...
somewhere down the road...
she might have a chance of dying
with a smile on her face.
