Life's Fast Train

in the year 1967, I was tweny
young and foolish
but not so innocent in
sex and drugs...
for today I lived, no tomorrows
and because of failures
I experienced opportunities;
in the year 1987, I was forty
my age could not be doubled,
no longer alive, my mind
began its reconditioning...
in the year 2007, I was sixty
and had relocated to a
different state both
mentally and physically;
in the year 2021, I was seventy-three
and no longer in charge of my body
as it had sought out the
partnerships of illness and disease;
all these years blur inside
and are unclear as I reflect upon
the fast train that has
brought me to this station.
