28th February 2015

When did looking forward change to looking back?
When did having all the time in the world change to
how long have I got? Or at least how long will I be able?

When did I become part of the older generation
worrying about pensions and heating bills
and people give up seats for me as if I were unable?

When did my hands turn into my Grandmother's
wrinkled with liver spots and deep blue veins?
I look in my mirror on the dressing table

When did I grow old?
