fast forward, rewind
if I could, I’d choose rewind
and go back
and do better at doing
that which is impossible
it is expected
this change of homes
yet put off
until the push of years
tells me to move on
two inches shorter
than when I was young
health and strength fading—
what’s left must be enough
to see me through these late years

__Yes, I too am less tall than I was when young, but now, my feet have become considerably "taller". _m
shorter and wider
wrinkled and bent
the days of youth
are surely spent
I should throw away my scale and all mirrors
Have a happy Memorial Day
