Aging Process
AllanBrunmier 1937 (Los Angeles)
when we’re young eager keen
we’re often refreshed
by re-seeing what’s seen
when we’re old floating amid clouds
there’s need to be reminded
we no longer walk in crowds
our journeys are cut short
both in and out of mind
it's expected never leaving port
memory cannot be trusted
not even for brief moments
recall has become so rusted
