Brewing

Each year, some slips away;
I’m just not that upset,
but I’m not that old yet,
if truth be told.

At some point down the road,
it maybe catches up;
for now I’ll pour a cup,
but not too bold.

Ideas still pour in;
I write them while they’re hot.
The downside of this thought:
my coffee’s cold.

Priorities, Jeff. Coffee can be warmed but poetic thoughts fade away into oblivion.
