58


When did it happen?  I was so sure it would not that I was not paying attention.  I got old. Old. I was so sure it wouldn't happen.

It is real.  I got old.  I can't do things that I used to do.  I can make the movements, but I can't DO them.  Things don't work.  Not like they used to.

Quickness.  Not there.  Movement - not without pain and major repercussions.

One day it was here.  Now it is gone.

And it is not coming back.  Ever.

They said it would happen.  I never believed it.

They were surprised it hadn't happened yet.  I was sure that was because it was not going to happen.









And when does this wisdom thing kick in?

When do I get that?

I love the passing of time.

I don't know who came up with this description of the effects of age, but I'm sure it was a guy:

"All my limber parts are getting stiff, and the stiff parts limber."
