Clearing up and out I came upon this, “The Personal Joys Og Ageing from 2016. Now totally rewritten.
The Personal Joys Of Ageing
I enjoy not being steered by ardour’s ***** drive,
The appetite for lots of food and varied such:
I enjoy not wanting much of much
Which qualities all counteract, exacerbate
The facts of fate.
It’s late.
I cannot sleep
But revel in the hours I keep.
Awake at night,
It is a most creative time to write.
In younger days there was so much I’d have denied,
Tried to get out of, lied about,
Taboos and mores* certifying,
Classifying wrong and right.
Sleep, food, *** vacate the drives,
Each space replaced by something fitter.
Without daily nose dives
Life is definitely better.
Say, dear reader
What you’re free from.
I would love to hear from
Any reader sitting there.
The Personal Joys Of Ageing 12.6.2016/rewritten 1.16.2020
Circling Round Eros II; Nature Of Reality; Circling Round Ageing; Arlene Nover Corwin
*mores (pronounced morays) customs, conventions, ways, way of life, way of doing things, traditions, practices, custom and practice, procedures, habits, usages; formal praxis.
