Listen to poem:
My Mirror Looking Back
the years have added
to my patina in ways
that were not pre-approved
they crept up
one saggy whimper
one tiny wrinkle at a time
sly and sneaky
perfidious and insidious
emphatically inclined
till one day barely recognizable
the years took their toll
adding much to my patina
