Youth


When I realized
I was getting older
Because
I had passed
The sixty mark
What a shabby cheat
Such a big lie

If I will ask
My body
Or this thing
Called
The physical universe
On which
You and I
Have
A so called agreement
If I will ask it
What my own
Personal
State of affairs is
I am done

Fact is
I am younger now
Than I have ever been

Agnes

We were close
Very close
When we were seventeen
While you had
That long blond hair
And a bike
That I had to change
For another
Because your legs
Were too long

I had to grow up
To the fact
You lost your parents
When you were twelve

And we were close
Even when you were sitting
At the other end
Of the college room
Smiling

We were close
Very close
And we were happy
