    TELL ME I'M OLD
    Tell me I'm old
    On my knees handily pushing dirt around the pine
    tree roots
    Tell me I'm old
    Checking out computers at school to students
    with ID's to please the anti porn gods
    Tell me I'm old
    The knots on my skull testify a nusaince was
    insurrected
    Tell me I'm old
    Singing old gospel hymns in church
    with friends
    Tell me I'm old
    As I fill the buckets with water for the
    six dogs
    Tell me I'm old
    While I'm driving home in the dark
    alone
    Tell me I'm old

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
