YOU THINK YOU ARE OLD

You think you are old, but there
are alive people born in 1906.

Your paternal grandmother's parents
were planning to get married

when these people were
screaming in their cribs,

your grandmother's great-grandmother
was still smoking her pipe at night,

and she was born in 1827,

when these people were greedily
sucking their mothers' breasts,

these people still alive in 2023.

You think you are old, but there
are alive people born in 1906.
