This poems does soemthing to me, it captures the inexorable flux of time, young to old, energy to lethargy, not thinking to evaluating.
I think it is a beautiful poem, sincere and sad.

Hello it's faithless here. although i think that particular name is dead now. so i'll use this one. good to see the old place still running. same old faces but it appears to be a whole new ballgame.

nice to see the back of all the "nonsense". i'll get around to putting some new work up this week.

and i'll definitely try not to annoy, harass or in any way impinge.

thank you.

Earlier this week a US judge signed a death warrant for the execution in San Quentin prison, California, of five times Nobel Peace Prize nominee, Stanley Williams. The 51 year old was a co-founder of the 'Crips', a notorious Los Angeles gang. He was convicted of the murders of four people in 1979, though he apparently reformed in recent years and was an advocate of 'peace'.

That obviously cut no ice with the US judge!

That just leaves about 2000 more to 'fix' in LA!

i (and certain of my friends) ... are getting to a particular sort of age ...

the age where the eggs are rolling down the tubes like dried peas ... everything is on the turn ... it is the autumn of our fertility ...

let's pray to god we don't get one of those dried peas accidentally fertilised ... tho of course hitting this age means that nobody actually wants to breed with us so we will probably be ok ...

so here is a thread lamenting the passing of the juicy days ...

i raise a toast to my wizened old oves ... *hic*
