Poems for Sunday - 1. Sometimes

Sometimes

I embrace the gray and give a middle finger to the sky

as I dance in the rain.

Other times, I scowl at the stranger in the mirror,

remembering less pounds and wrinkles;

sleepless nights easily remedied with an extra cup or two of coffee

the next morning at work.

Now caffeine is the cause of insomnia instead of the cure.

I stopped shaving years ago and don’t give a shit

when it makes other people uncomfortable.

There was a time when I would have been mortified.

I may have celebrated fifty anniversaries of my birth,

But that doesn’t mean I’m old.

Instead, I’ve decided life is just beginning.

I hate the stranger in the mirror too, but fifty isn't old. I think it's reasonable these days to aim for triple figures, and maybe buy one of those curved mirrors from the fun fair.

Somehow I missed seeing this comment.  Sorry about the late reply, but thank you, and I think I'll get one of those mirrors!  :P
