Shit-face Amazed
My son turns 57 this Saturday;
my daughter celebrated her 54th
this past November. I have grand-
children in their mid-twenties.
In my old age, I play memory
mind games with myself going
way back in time just to prove to
that I’m not losing it.
I laugh because I didn’t forget
where I last left my car keys.
I recall, I gave up diving six
years ago, or was it seven?
One thing I do know—like-
lihood is, an auto crash will
not be the reason for my
demise. But soon, one day
soon, my end shall arrive.
For now, I’ll take each
day as it comes, and still be
shit-face amazed at how old
my children and grand kids
have become. Another Christ-
mas, another New Year soon
to be into the annuls of history.
And I, dragging the memories
of mankind along with me.
So much over time and millennia
to remember.
