Thoughts of Old Age
To think about getting old?
Ay that is the question.
Tomorrow rapes the day
of sentiment, the curling
onion skin that never
unrolls.
Any mind cannot comprehend
old age. The loose tooth,
of retirement falls out.
Hope falls from yesterday
when, albeit time allows,
the young scalawag cross off
future’s possibilities as the
insensible droppings of
the cat who remain in the
corner. The shedding of
youth’s romances.
Old age ponders through
rheumy tears the last
kisses , the shoulders
on which shawls
Droop
