Getting On A Bit

Dorian Grey has lost all trace of his self-image. Like many elderly male models, there are now no mirrors in his mind. Musty images of his centenarius youth are hid in crusty shoeboxes. Like many, he collects his social security, munches slowly on a daily bowl of Cheerios, then entertains himself by watching cat videos on YouTube. Sometimes, he pens the odd melancholy muse as do many another, well versed, superannuated senior citizen.
