The sledge-hammer came down very early, <br />and I was shanghied into life. <br />I wake up at 58, thinking <br />'but I thought I was 21! ' <br /> <br />But there's no <i>time</i> to think! <br />Today's screaming to be lived, <br />the vast machinery of Creation <br />has already begun its grinding.<br /><br />Max Reif<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/reflection-of-a-middle-aged-man/
