My dad always said…

Life’s a big truck/train

about to smash you
(metaphorical truck,
now in reverse over the body…
again and once again).

Beginnings are always fervent.
Middle-age will look pathetic
to the young or old
(a long loud sneeze or laugh).
It is what it is
(raised eyebrow).
You can do that kind
of stuff when you’re young
(leans chair back,
and takes a swig/drag).

    I like it. (A blunt response to a blunt poem…in the good way).

    Swig/drag should be a word.
