For the most part senior citizens live <br />in the margins of life. Most you see, are <br />not fully involved. They are paid courtesy <br />visits-if they are fortunate and are more <br />or less place gently brushed aside from <br />social interaction. <br /> <br />Most of their younger associates are too <br />busy living their own lives and have <br />precious little time to acknowledge older people <br />in their lives. <br /> <br />In is not intentional...or crude...or thoughtless, <br />it is merely a fact of life <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />© Joe Fazio<br /><br />(brief renderings) Joe Fazio<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/elderly-and-life-in-the-margins/
