we're going there now, are we?

it's not worry,
or concern, but observational
amusement
at how
the body
alters over time.
the crepe skin.
loose
and dry,
the knees bent.
the hair
now silver.
the teeth, two chins.
how strange
we 
change
from birth until
death.
oh really now, you
say
to yourself
in front of the morning
mirror.
we're going
there now,
are we?
