She said
Look at me. I’ve suffered no ill-effects.
I replied
That’s because it manifests holistically as your general demeanor
– you are essentially blind to the effect.
She gazed through me quizzically and asked
What the hell are you talking about?

I told her to run, come sniff the mint,
for it would never again smell like now.

I adored her partially because
she loved ground cherries too
and knew the right time for plucking
is just around sunset when the pods
are day-dry, sec sweet

Life expectancy is a state of mind.
At 60 I tell myself I am less
than a tenth of the way there – to set the tone –
and my genes respond quite favorably.
Stop selling yourself short – get ready for the long haul.
Luxuriate in life and time.
Enough of this “60 is the new 40” crap.
600 anyone?

a tale,
emit,
alit on tines;
time,
timeless,
timelessness;
lament time,
I tell my tales,
all mine;
sentiment,
sentimental,
sentimentality;
mental state,
stalemate,
sameness;
names,
a mess,
me…I…;
limit,
limitless,
limitlessness;
miles yet,
I smile,
till I lie still;
sense,
senses,
sensate;
sans any timelines,
ill in time,
my last line;
senile,
senilely,
senility;
it lies,
in nil,
sans any tielines;
stillness,
stillnessless,
I see me all lit in tinsel.
