READ POEM: Panic Of Growing Old By Lenrie Peters

Understanding life while still young...

The panic of growing older.
The panic of growing older spread fluttering winds from year to year
At twenty stilled by hope of gigantic success time and exploration
At thirty a sudden throb of pain laboratory test having nothing to show Legs cribbed in domesticity allow no sudden leaps at the moon now.
Copybook bisected
with red ink and failures–nothing to show the world.
Three children the world perhaps the
world expects it of you. No specialist’s effort there.

But science give hope
of twice three score
and ten. Hope
is not a grain of sand
inner satisfaction
dwindles sharp
blades of expectation.
From now on the world
has you.
