I do now know
those ancient prophesies
that foretold long ago
about time acceleration
as the years get accumulated
which a fresher version of me
once scoffed at dismissively
as bitter delusions of the elderly
are not only painfully true
but they are now happening quite rapidly
I can faintly hear
those long ago departed ghosts
laughing at my past naïveté
Ahhh the arrogance of youth
Too self absorbed to hear the truth
from those who have traversed
the same well worn path
Now those spirits get the last laugh
So here I be...
Saturated in irony
as I am now the crusty relic
Admonishing the text obsessed
microchip attention span generation
to look up from their hand held existence
and savor the many diverse flavors
this very finite
accelerated timeline has to offer
Carpe Diem my friends...
Don't be like regretful me...
