Timeless Fascination With Youth

CATEGORY

romance

Views: 159

I aged a small number of hours,

none the worse

since posting about Daylight Savings Time,

a radiant playful verse

teasingly succeeded against being terse,

a cogent tangential thread,

where passage of "time"
 

ranks front and center

this central theme constitutes cultish obsession

with vibrant youthfulness

as if senescence a crime imposed

(at birth) on every purse
 

son, thus a healthy and prominant grow wing

(nee bursting out all over)

market and cottage industries didst swing

into high gear (make that overdrive)

addressing telomeres shortcomings
 

justifies tamper ring

with chromosomal genes

to sustain bug eyed sales figures,

asper amazing grace full spy king

 

scales into the stratosphere,

with cosmetic surgeons hoe ping

where, (particularly among

baby boomer generation)
 

appear younger looking than offspring

(albeit, whereat either gender undergoing

bust ting bosoms and tightening tushies)

to foster said tune, where billions of dollars
 

come into play, I haint joe king

this feeding frenzy removing without a trace

(of surgeon's needle) unsightly wrinkles,

stretch marks, blemishes, et cetera
 

(over a life time) fulfilling vanity

in the name of eternal quest to dupe biology

paying mega bucks postponing twilight/ evening

years not yielding to depredations when dotage,
 

a stark reminder what natural aging doth bring

superficial (skin deep) transformations,

which cannot reboot major organs

allowing elderly to rock with van

halen again, since primary maximal apex
 

i.e. post adolescence/

early adulthood marked urban

boisterous antics, the tacitly accepted behavior,

that would appear down right foolish
 

as if elders played kick the can

if chronologically old geezers let Mother Nature

rightfully round up steering committee

gently rowing rickety ship of lovely bones

dutifully paying (chump change) to the bargeman.
