NOW COUNTED AMONG THE OLD

You are now counted among the old

by the old themselves, accepted

in their ranks. A peer

in the last stage of life; the

things the young have you

lack - it's not the age, its

things driving them forward to

waiting (or vanishing) possibilities.

They are in the grip

of constant transformation. You,

you are a finished product,

of crude built yet finished; there

will be no change,

just existence. You are complete

and cursed for being so. You

are now counted among

the old by the old. You are

one of them, accepted, and you

take your place and the role

that comes with it. You

start talking, always reminiscensing

when not talking about the

future of the young; there

is no future to you but this.
