Youth Ends

we miss youthfulness

trading off wisdom

seeing age as an asset

instead of a luxury

of the wealthy...  we

sing and dance in a

mental room full of

strangers that have paid

to see our funerals and

watch us lowered into

the ground or enter a

firey furnace and be

cremanted and our 

ashes spread around

in the places we claim

that we enjoyed...  an

orchestra plays at the

celebration but we hear

none of the tunes and

if we did would not

appreciate the serenity.
