Aging Parallel
A girl of ten
thinks o c t o g e n a r i a n
is a keen word.
Sounding round and full
like the lifetime of its meaning.
Which she hadn't fully realized
until ten years later
as a woman
writing this poem
for the love of an old man.
In memory of
G. A. Howard, 1903-1996
S. Geddes
Ottawa ON
Have you seen the writing on the wall
