On Getting Older

by Joe Cramer

I get creaky,
freaky, weakly
waking up each morning.
It's so alarming
to watch the days flash by.
In fact, they fly.
I wonder why I bother
watching at all. Whether
or not
these age spots
or the thinning of my hair
really matter.
Why do I care?

Vanity wasn't with us at the beginning and may not be with us at the end, but it's a long-lived and tenacious little fellow...(from another creaky riser)
