The signs of aging
When is old?
When you get a job
or a mortgage
When you say ‘I do’ and
settle down
When you think about death
When you realise settling down’s not for you
When you have responsibilities
When you didn’t fall over, you had a fall
When you have wrinkles and grey hair
When you start again
and again
When you’re tired
When you’re furious
When you’re wise
When you’re strong
When you’re foolish
When you plant bulbs
or knit blankets
When you feel the draught of time rushing by
When someone starts ‘at your age…’
When you refuse to listen
