The State of Me Currently


It pleases me to report that

thus far, I am able to deal with

the pain which comes part and

parcel with old age.


I’ve fallen only once a couple

of months ago, and was still able

to get up on my own.


Blessed I suppose to have escaped

with only a bruise and no broken

or disjointed bones.


It will not make the 6 o’clock

local or national news, but I’m

still titillated each morning by

the Muse which enables me to

continue writing my thoughts

creatively each day.



The sun still shines; the moon

still glows; I can still flex and

count ten fingers, ten toes.


I have few expectations of

others and myself. I am

content and at peace with the

quiet I’m able to appreciate.


Behind me lies the road

I have paved. Ahead a

dead end—no heaven to

glorify, no hell to excoriate.


Suis-moi je te suivrai.
