There Comes a Time


When you reach a certain age and your
services are no longer required, you then
question everything you’ve ever learned.

Habits, good and bad, which you had ac-
quired over a lifetime provide the only
impetus for carrying on.

You tie your shoes automatically, eat your
meals with punctual regularity, retire and
rise at the appointed times.

You have forgotten more information than
half the Earth’s human inhabitant’s will ever
know.

And still you are wise enough to realize,
when the goldfish floats belly-up in its bowl,
that’s not a good sign.
