the late fall afternoon

when you see a man
of similar stature and color,
height,
when you see him
bending
to his cane, towards
some park
where the sunlight will
keep him warm
on this late fall afternoon,
you wonder if that is
me in ten years,
or five, or even three.
will you be that lucky
or unlucky
as the case may be.
