AT 38



i am a stranger to myself
tired and drawn and stubbly and old-
my age ENORMOUS!

i've landed suddenly in my future.

big thin alien hands
clutch
the
maintenance meccanno of the soft machine.

working again
in the hospital.  
all my clothes are too big now.

he’s looking at me from behind deep glass
in
the
dark
light
of
a service lift mirror.

HELLO YOU i am saying.
