Dated

Even genius is dated the poison fruit of time a once beautiful mind now turning to slime as bacteria re-purpose (what of greater value, the vehicle or its soul?) I was never gifted a Jaguar but who is to say, perhaps former VW's all the Rave of Heaven!

Chocolate is still in. I enjoy poems about time. It seems slow, then fast.

All earthly things are worthless really. God has given us all we really need.

Hey Joe, I like how the The poem grapples with the transience of intellect and the effects of aging on even the most brilliant minds, acknowledging that “Even genius is dated.” The “poison fruit of time” presents the notion that no matter how extraordinary one’s mind may be, it is ultimately subject to the forces of time and decay. This acknowledgment serves as a meditation on the temporary nature of life, intelligence, and physical form.
