you don't believe you'll ever
get old.
how could you?
impossible
you think as you
stand before
the mirror
and flex your arms.
look at how fast you run,
how strong you are,
there's not a line
on your face,
not a single grey strand
in your thick
dark hair.
you sleep well and eat
anything without gaining
a pound of weight.
your vision
is clear,
you can hear a pin drop
a mile away.
you can make love all night
if need be.
you're sharp
and happy.
how is it possible that you
could ever age.
and then.
