I
once thought
turning 30
was
getting old
sore
back
teenage years
long
gone
but
today
my brother
turns
70
while
I remain
a sprightly
13
years younger
So,
what’s old
and, how do we
define
it?
Is
it
in
the
eyes of the beholder?
Old
and decrepit
hair turning grey
past
it
are
all phrases
used
to
describe
anyone
older
than
oneself
which
suggests to me
that
getting
older
is
much more
a state of mind
than
what
actually
and invariably
happens
