AGE
You said what?
He said Just,
you know,
I don’t know how to say it.
Well try I said.
All right.
All right.
When did this happen?
I mean the age business
where everyone is younger
than you.
Alright me, the you
was just an expression.
Anyway I can still do anything
I used to
or almost.
Well, nearly almost.
All right, some of the things.
But hey why is everyone so fussy
about a
a few years?

Why so fussy?

If you feel
that you can’t do it
do it anyway.
If you feel
your talent to be ordinary,
play ordinary well.
If you dream,
do
and don’t ask if it’s good enough.
For whom is it good enough?
You paint the flower
and if they see the thorn
do not despair.
We are seventy percent water
and the rest,
hot air.
