No Such Thing

there's something entrancing in knowing that I am not quite young

young minded, no.

young in control, perhaps.

young in prowess... definitely not.

and since young and old

are only based on the amount of

ticks

and tocks

you've been breathing

or the amount of wrinkles you're covering

or the amount of tears that have fallen in laughter

aren't we all a little young,

a little old?

time is a thing

and i am a being.

and beings are not things,

nor do they enjoy being constrained by such things.
