Turned fifty today-
Gulped down a grolwer
like you were twenty-one
today-
we talked of many things-
and half attentive
while we went on,
i remembered:
im half as old as you.
so much of you
i see right here
in these shabby clothes
and unkempt face-
im no fool
no sir!
your saggy skin
might look good in
that suit, parked
professionally
at a computer all day-
but i know better:
your twice the child
today
than ever.
