Not So Amazing Changes

Not So Amazing Changes
David J Walker

Sometimes I wonder
When I look into the mirror
Who is looking back at me

And who is it I see 
In those iPhone pics
Passing around the family?

I don’t recall morphing
The morning when I woke
Early but still un-woke to 
The molting of my youth

Ok, in truth I was never sure
When middle age started with 
That bulging belly  
and ended in a slump

The lump watching the world 
change from his couch 
	The slouch

Sometimes I wonder 
Why I have a mirror at all
Just for the recall of the
Not so amazing changes
