That Which Remains

 

The age has come of Ending Seasons.


I have seen and lived through many—


sunshine, storm, wind, snow and rain.


What has been was meant for me, that


mostly which was up to me to take or


leave, some of which was bad shit, man!


Not to worry though, the good stuff was


enough to get me through. I have quoted


Mark Twain before, but here and now I


figure his thoughtful quip bears repeating


for it surely applies to me: When I was


younger I could remember anything,


whether it happened or not; but I am


getting old, and soon I shall remember


only the latter.” Personally, I’ll take that


which was given me along the way, leaving


a trail of breadcrumbs behind. The Auto-


pilot of Old Age Reality leads me onward to


the Great Beyond. And should you choose,


you and the birds can snack on all the rest.
