The mirror 
makes me painfully
aware of 
the fact that
age is catching up with me,
a fact I must face.

person who's capable of
working and thinking.

being confined to 
a bed or

shivers down my spine.

An avid
newspaper reader,

obituaries.

I don't know
if destiny has
fixed a date

there is no way to find out,

the fact that
age is catching up with me,
