NOW, WE IS: 60! A Year 8 child enquires how old I be? "I be just...60!" He gasps. "My God...you're very active for 60!" 60 for him is a distant planet in a galaxy far far from here. Yea...another dimension. I smile my 60 year old smile perfected by now. I am starlight that will only reach him when he is 60 himself if he ever remembers what he has long ago forgotten.
