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.
