I’ve got hair

and wax

in my ears

A life full of imminent fears

Why aren’t we old

when we’re young

young enough to keep up with it?

Ah, the bills and the pills

the reoccurring aches

and  random pains

all that wonderful shit…

I was never good at looking ahead

so now I’m learning

to enjoy what I have

and giving less time to dread

I feel so peaceful

in this moment

drifting upon an almost magical

billowing stream

brought back  too soon

from this waking dream

by one of those random pains

and unwelcome

welcome doggie kisses

Gently  awash in spending time with you

and all that other stuff

we need to do
