The clock in my office: I notice it only when
out of its reach and
I don't hear its inexorable ticking.
And tocking.
I could measure my birthdays in minutes, but
I don't want to.
I'd be too tempted to ask myself,
"How many minutes do I have left?"
I don't want to know.
If Roy Batty couldn't know, then
why should I know?

Thomas Hobbes, there are times when I wish you weren't so damn right.

Feeling old?
ReplyDeleteI only feel especially old when I look at my face and I can't quite find the comely young man I once was. (He's hiding somewhere in my face behind my old-guy eyebrows.)
ReplyDelete@Nubian: Starting to feel it a bit. More likely just feeling sorry for myself at turning 50. I like to call it "reflective whining". :-)
ReplyDelete@dbs: I still find the Shrek-looking guy in the mirror to be a surprise every time I see him, expecting to see the blond haired golden boy instead! And what's with the hair growth in the nose and ears???
