Middle-Aged Contemplations I

Middle-Aged Contemplations I

...standing
at the sink lost
in reflective
considerations of no
great portent, washing,
thinking, looking
up was shocked
by what stared back;

the memory of middle-
aged, balding, wild-
bearded men, the heroes
of a youth who stared

back

at a world
through glass eyes
from under bushed
brows - I saw
myself.

Seeing them,
my self, them
I wondered ...do you
suppose
that this
is what
they
call age?
