aches and pains

 

one morning you
move like water
flowing downstream

and life is good like
blueberry pancakes
and a hot cup of coffee
for breakfast

the next morning you
are a rose broken from
the stem

walking down steps
is like climbing the
Himalayas

the sun doesn't smile
for you

your doctor is on
speed dial

and the mortian has
booked you for an
appointment

and pain is no longer
a next door neighbor

but lives in your living
room sitting next to
you

getting old is getting
reeaalllll old real damn
quick
