Aging It begins with a whisper Different goals, lower expectations The past beginning to fold in Aching creaking bodies No longer too young to die Pressures displaced Making babies Paying taxes Slimming debt Years begin to scream WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING WHAT HAPPENED TO THE YOU THAT YOU WANTED TIME IS RUNNING OUT Pipe dreams shredded with old receipts Your bunkmates married with kids Another old conversation Saunters through brain waves as you stare at wedding photos Buy an expensive car Have a scandalous affair Peirce strange places They ask why? Because That’s just what people do Get old Get scared Pretend

Aging
Aging It begins with a whisper Different goals, lower expectations The past beginning to fold in Aching creaking bodies No longer too young to die Pressures displaced Making babies Paying taxes Slimming debt Years begin to scream WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING WHAT HAPPENED TO THE YOU THAT YOU WANTED TIME IS RUNNING OUT Pipe dreams shredded with old receipts Your bunkmates married with kids Another old conversation Saunters through brain waves as you stare at wedding photos Buy an expensive car Have a scandalous affair Peirce strange places They ask why? Because That’s just what people do Get old Get scared Pretend
