Birthday Poem

Since today is my birthday and also the one year anniversary of my little blog, I thought it would be appropriate to post a poem I had published several years ago about getting older.

                                                  GAMBLING WITH TIME

What is age
      but an illusion

That melts like a sugar cube
     inside our minds

Sweet and sour
     raw and spicy

For there is no time except
     for the play that skims through your head

Because life is like
     betting on a longshot

The over/under
     some abstract number

The odds pivoting
     like a roulette ball

When the only sure thing
     is that there is no sure thing

So place your bets,
     then read em and weep.
