Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

He Is Eighty Six Now

He is an old man now
Eighty-six in 2022.
He has not aged a day though.
He is drawn the same, only better.

We recognize his red cape and red boots.
His shiny tight-fitting suit shows off his pecs.
He has the handsome squared jaw we have always seen.
And those blue eyes! Eighty-six, really Superman?
