when young we don't think of them
we don't even imagine them other than
our days not lasting long enough when
we are having a good time... and too
long when we are having a bad time;
as we get older we acknowledge how
time periods are long or short but we
do not think of them as endings, nor do
we relate them to any aspect of our life
that may be on its way to ending soon;
half way through our life, about the age
of fifty years maybe earlier we begin to
be aware of how things end moreso than
than how these same things began... and,
shortly afterwards, we think of ourselves
as we apply our knowledge, wondering
if we have done all the things that we
wanted to do... our bucket list increases
as we ponder what we might have wanted
to do and shorter when we think about only
those things that we really have not done.
