MY MIND JUST SWEATS THE

 20.

 My mind just sweats the small things
 These days
 It's not interested in learning Spanish
 Or writing poetry
 Or even reading
 History
 (Something that up to now
 I have always found
 Very easy).
 I know
 At my age
 I'm coming down the hill:
 I swim less,
 I run less
 (And feel it more
 When I do).
 But I didn’t know-
 I had no idea-
 That my mind
 Would come down with me too.
I used to have my head in a book
 At times like these.
 Now, while my kid
 Reads his Kindle,
 I just lie
 & look
 As the women pass
 In their bikinis.
