Least Read Poems About Aging

need a bigger backpack now...
I did a bit of modeling in my teens
didn't amount to much
but it helped my battered self-esteem
these days...
...beauty is something my mirror no longer sees
{at least not by me}
it's okay...I'm of an age...
but that's another story...
...not where this one is going
it's a sobering moment
to wake up one morning
...physically older
but the mind & the memories
...are as exuberant as ever
a living time capsule...as it were
leaving one perplexed
wondering how did I get here
this is a surreal reality ...

they were never traced
two old blokes, sitting in their
armchairs, would often discuss
last year’s series of robberies
in the village; one looked slightly shamefaced, but the other, raising
his glass, said, here’s to us ..
