*change is a constant
motion in life's instant
organic factory of growth
thus the folds at the back of my head
are a recent intrusion against my image
so are the hairs in my ears
and in my now dilated nostrils
you used to have these lovable dimples
and a delectable bounce in your walk
but now all you ever do is talk and talk
about the fictional excellence of your life
and how you're much sought after
even in this, the twilight of your days
head bald as an egg
walk a dawdle
mouth a dark cavern
physique like a sumo wrestler
memory like a closed book
and demise like a meteor
will i know you when i see you again?
my heart has kept you frozen and young*
