At Almost Eighty
Recuperation, Declination, Deliberation and Respiration
Can i dare to place a limit
Is it an age?
or a state of mind?
Mine or just that of others?
Who decides, enough is enough?
spouse, children?
when intellect becomes insult
when perception is a nightmare
climate becomes only temperature
of feelings
and attitude
using heat and cold
mockery and demands
life remains short
nay, shorter
than a few days to visit a Spring house and
cats and flowers
and grass
that smell like me after rain and mowing
but for so little
so memorable
a fortune
to hope
found too much for this age
that only real family deserves
and the age may not hope or enjoy
with so much joy in its past
none of which carry forward
below the TOTAL line
which has only numbers
undecipherable
even if its ink
and meaning
have not disappered
