age is just a number

age is just
a number, my friend jimmy
tells me,
as he sips
on his prune juice
and lathers
his face
with wrinkle cream.
what's your
number, i ask him.
i lost count he says.
i'm somewhere
between birth
and death
is all i know, and the train
is rolling
down the tracks
mighty fast.
