Becoming a Disappointed
(and Disappointing) Old Man
granted, this note of gratitude
is premature, at best; perhaps
it verges on the fantastical.
however, even if the chances
of a positive outcome are
debatable, i figure that this
small attempt at facing inev
itability with such a forced
and focused attitude might
possibly help getting from
here to there be a bit more
sustainable and enduring —
if not a degree or so more
pleasant — than any alter
native perspectives might.
here’s to hoping that’ll be
the general trend, anyway.
