To burn the midnight oil
or curl up early?To cover my grey hairs
or put my wisdom on display?To cycle in the rain
or embrace the comfort of my sofa?To pay my bills
or pretend they don’t exist?To cosy up to procrastination
or set my face like flint?These questions
drift lazily between a willing heartand a stubborn mind

Smiles. I lean towards the couch at my age. But I remember at your age – the busyness! Advice: dont take your legs for granted. I did and now only have one that works properly.

My grey hairs are so old they have turned white now and when people meet me in the street they say “You still here then?”
