Discharge
Someone said it: Time is a thief.
It takes a part of us each day.
At first, it doesn’t seem too much:
A single hair, a shard of skin,
A tiny speck of recollections;
But the tally mounts, the mirror
Documents this slippery slope.
Time, we know, is a one-way bet;

now I’m bolder
with life perspective
vantage point

I’ve still got something to add
I don’t need
to be vogue again
I don’t need
to be chic again
I don’t need
to be cool again
