AS WE AGE,OUR SHORT-TERM MEMORY FLICKERS
Our long -term memory puts on spectacles and remembers 
events that the young will never know(and do not want to)
Time is a Tweet for them-an Instagram.
Time is grandfathered clauses for those who are rich in years
Yet our cliff of endings always looms too near
It is healthy to forget-especially pain and loss.
It is healing to remember-reasons to continue.
Each of us face these Daemons-Chronos,Janus,Thanatos
in the mirror lines and thinning hairline mornings
Reciting litanies of Obituaries ,puzzling why they left
There is an end to memory,and life,and time
We coward horses pawing at the edge of cliffs
remind ourselves how slow we are.How fast life leaves.
