growing older poems

Face to Face | Stan Morrison

in the mirror face to face
I see this young man old
laughing together with one another
“how absurd, you’re so old so young”
not like an ancient city
built layer atop of layer
but a continuous construct
of the new, the humorous
thew humane the divine
forever renewing refreshing
relentless time at our backs

Geriatrics | Stan Morrison

just another old man on the road to nowhere
just another old man too far from his home
too many stories he would love to tell you
too many stories to tell and he’s all alone

i’m just another man goin my own way
i’m not another old man, I;ve got a home
you don’t have to hear any of my stories
i’m not selling them and I’m not all alone
