Youth returns not at the ticking of the clock:
nor Passion its ship again brings to dock.
Unnoticed has Lust gently faded away,
just as did spring, summer has not stayed,
nor shall He return, upon another day!
My memory has fled, so too my
prowess in bed, and the hair on my head.
My eyes have a film, my muscles sag
and my bones are now a little…too brittle.
I don't mind so much the thought of dying.
My years have been flying like the "digit
counter fall" on some too easy pinball…
machine, but did they have to take away
all these things I took for granted?
But yes, I see the point.
If things were as they were in my youth
I would never want to leave and it's obvious
that there are too many of us here now.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
