A brief description of the stages of life.
Passing

I carry youth on my back,
looking for a kind place to leave her.
Adulthood is pressing on my shoulders,
no way to get out from under it.
Elderly images dance in the corner of my mind,
I'll know when it is upon me.
And death is lying at my feet,
waiting for me to fall down.
