POETRY CORNER: On Getting On
by Joan Ferrone
2020
I’ve got baggy eyes
and flat feet
Too much belly
and a saggy seat
My hair won’t curl
my nails are split
I can’t sit without
a pillow for my bum
The legs and feet
will go numb.
I forget names and where I’ve been
and where I’m going and what I’ve seen
For I have life!
I am old, I am tired
But it’s okay—
For I have life.
Responsible journalism is hard work!
It is also expensive!
