Life’s a masquerade
springtime’s new chapter
temporary ruse
life’s a masquerade
dressed in floral camouflage
pink pedal pushers
springtime’s new chapter
arousing and illicit
scent of fresh ink
temporary ruse
despite its transience
forever memoirs

la sénescence ne pardonne pas
La mémoire
est une faculté
qui oublie.
Senility is unforgiving.
Memory
is a faculty
that forgets.
*********
What if I don’t remember?
Every time
I don’t remember
a name, a street even a number
I do get queasy
inside my tummy.
what are my fears?
have my fair share.
driving about … anywhere
what if I lose my way out there?
I do get frightened
I’ll not come back
get lost in thought
take two wrong turns
and then I fear
I’ll lose my way…
but what about
my thoughts, my words
your face, your voice,
and all my memories?
that blasted
evil enemy
may visit me
some day …
and stay!
That shameful senility
may rob me of my dignity.
