NOW, WE IS: 60!
NOW, WE IS: 60!
A Year 8 child
enquires how old I be?
"I be
just...60!"
He gasps.
"My God...you're very active
for 60!"
60 for him is
a distant planet
in a galaxy far far
from here.
Yea...another
dimension.
I smile my 60 year old smile
perfected by now.
I am starlight
that will only reach him
when he is
60 himself
if he ever
remembers what he has
long ago
forgotten
