Dotage
How would / will I know
with no one to observe
Tell me
Remind me
Write it down. . .
Living alone
Having chats
Acknowledging
affirmations
without a different
point of view
Yes, I’ve read up on
the symptoms of
ancient aging
diseases
passed on DNA
(hoping it skips a generation)
But how would I even
be aware if I became. . .
As I grow older & fatter
I have put a laminated
note on my bathroom
mirror:
What day is it, today
and
Who the hell are You!!?

The struggle is real, Tallen, and you posed some valid questions. Solid start! Keep it up!

I live alone, and know there are many benefits to it, but I sometimes question whether it goes against nature- especially as we age.
I appreciate the stark honesty of your write.

Dear T,
Poignant and so relevant. This piece gives me pause for thought as to how things will play out as I continue down my timeline. Powerful write. H🌷

Aw, Tallen been long time since touched bases here. At the age of 75 now, I know what you mean. Golden years!?! What a joke. I keep on going and going. No note yet on my bathroom mirror, but lots of notes on my phone calendar. Thank you for the read.
