An Accounting


So, this is what it has come to... and where?
For me presently, to arrival at the station of
old age—enfeebled arms and hobbled legs.

Wrinkled skin, brittle bones, hair diminished
and gray, the mirror reminds me each and every
day, having over past years given the best and

worst of myself away. The best rewards me with
a fondness font of memories; and with the worst,
I am in regretful shame compelled to pay.

I have a mental drawerful of receipts to remind me.
