#402 white nose hair

don't grow old
it's lonely
watching friends die
remembering what your body used to do
age is no longer revered
are today's seniors less wise
or our youth
a frightening disconnect exists
a disconnect that always existed
but it's bigger now
the old want to be young
and the young never want to grow old
yet
we are missing something
a beauty and a comfort that comes with age for some
