i often hear from others.
that we lose
our appetites.
for food,
for sex. for sleep.
our ambition
has dwindled to a few
embers
in a dying fire.
we tell each other that
we're up at four
in the morning.
we brag
about our doctor visits.
the numbers,
our vital signs.
blood pressure
and the rest.
we're easily bored
with so much,
having seen the changes
go by our windows.
we're no longer
impressed.
the young can have it.
go ahead,
take the world we made.
it's time for us
to rest.
