It isn’t just reaching retirement age is it, there’s
wholesome feeling of making it & being in one
piece, and in surviving myriads of celebrations
along the way; 65 of ’em to be precise, and as
they say, getting better yet - but here in a lime-
light expressed as presence of th’ nearest and
dearest who lets ideas of ageing jaundice-test
what we agree against future views yet to be
Today is when we celebrate - tomorrow needs
no clarification beyond the fact that free social
calendars are binary blessings with schedules
less evident than work as a topic banned from
all conversation; won’t mention it again - & as
I was saying - welcome to your kindest niche
