Lying Mirrors

I hate these lying mirrors, saying I am older than I feel. And, why can’t I find a bathroom scale that can give me an answer that is real? I avoid all Kodak moments; the images steal my soul. And, why is growing hair on top of my head such an improbable goal? Why do I keep getting letters from the A.A.R.P? And why are things I witnessed myself now being taught in high school history? They say it beats the alternative; this process of growing older – But I want God to keep me young and that is exactly what I told her!
