Literally an age uncomtemplated

And yet it’s here.

Sixty

No more young adult innocence

Or being middle-aged crisis worthy

Yet the shell shows signs of system failure

Aches & pains, temporary in the past, set up shop like squatters…

Best sellers lists, in essence, are simply marketing tools to let folks know that other folks are buying this book, so give it a try.

As I tell my writing students, we do this because we observe something in the world, and we want to tell a story about it, and we also wanna be immortal. We still…
