Senior Student

Senior Student. Senescence...don’t know what that word means, I forget so many words now a days. A man called Alexander has stopped writing says he forget dates and names of famous persons but isn’t that what Wikipedia is for? Senescence...old age, I read, better than senile which is a word full ancient dust, of knowledge chipped off an old statue, like the one I saw in Rome, time had made his face featureless and he had lost six fingers. Senior citizen me? I still have nine fingers.
