The young, excited by the
turning of the years,
greet them like children
tearing open Christmas toys.
The joys of the dancing doll
grow stale;
faces pale before
the bathroom mirror
in the headache dawn,
while the automaton
gyrates to a tinny tune,
and yet a ray of sun
on carpet, moving
slowly with the day
entices the old to stay.
