Age: I Go Slower As Time Goes

Ideologies Can Survive Hostility, But Not Indifference.

My Neglected Duties Crowd Around Me In My Dreams, Murmuring.

No Use Saying Necessity Is Making A Mistake.

Guilt Stirs Me, But Only To Self-pity.

A Sentimental Aphorism Is Even More A Surprise Than A Hard- Boiled Sonnet.
