I Think, This Shabbat

Listening to services 
on my computer 
   I remember by 
wild youth 
   Now I sit perched 
on
the 
precipice of old age
  and have only some poetry
                                to show 
                                for it 
Had poetry in the 
    NY Times 
No relationship - except for some nice 
  platonic ones 
     I hear them singing 
  on the computer 
so I will put down my pen 
  drift into Shabbat 
for what its worth
