Yesterday we were boys running
  through summer's green fields.
  Today we're old men haunting bars
  and shadows of our memories.
  We curse time's stubborn march.
  We curse ruthless gravity that
  drapes thin skin over our bones
  and bends and shrinks our body.
  We barely eat. We're diminished.
  We die ghosts not much to bury.
