The Way of the Tortoise

The last person to say “don't trust anyone over thirty”
Is probably fifty by now.
I could never imagine myself being over sixty.
To be honest, I still can't.
I can't imagine what life after writing might hold
That would be worth staying for.
Everyone I know is trying to get old,
But nobody ages on purpose.
You can't win this event, even doing as told.
Just pick a buddy and try to finish second.
