Getting Old

I want to read the paper – but
I don’t want to read about senseless violence and ruined families
I don’t want to read about missing children and predatory paedophiles
I just don’t want to read about the heartache

I want to listen to the radio – but
I don’t want to hear eyewitness accounts of massacres and failed rescues
I don’t want to hear about brothers drowning in a desperate thrashing embrace
I just don’t want to hear all the details

I want to watch TV – but
I don’t want to see dismembered limbs and bloodstained pavement
I don’t want to see wailing mothers and screaming fathers
I just don’t want to see the excruciation

I want to feel alive – but
I don’t want to feel the bile of revulsion in my gullet
I don’t want to feel the asphyxiation of injustice in my chest
I just don’t want to feel the righteous indignation like I used to

I watch some porn and think, "God, that looks exhausting."

My Four Year Old Says He is Old.

I am in my mid 30's.  I sometimes need to stretch in morning.  My Four year old will stretch

with me and say he is getting old too!Smile It just gives me a chuckle.  We are only as old as

we let ourselves be.  Remember 40 is the new 20.
