Writing a
memoir is
a life’s work.
It has to
be earned
by the lines
of your face,
the wrinkles
of your hands,
the night fears
of your sleep,
the weariness
of your brain,
the failing of
your body,
and finished
just in time.
In the old days
Oh, those old
university
lecturers
of mine. How
ancient
they were, fossils
lecturing
about fossils.
Why they must
have been at
least forty
years old, some
even fifty!
Doctor who?
The shelves of
the World’s
libraries
are filled with
millions of
books by unknown
people who
thought writing
a book would bring
immortality.
Have you heard the one about…
The last stage
of old age
is where you
have run out
of people
who haven’t
heard all your
anecdotes.

I doubt the
benefit of
giving most
people the
benefit of
the doubt

Robots is a
better name for
fundamentalists
of all
religions
Last orders please
Last school day,
last work day,
last drive,
last sex,
last walk,
last outdoors,
last room,
last meal,
last breath.
Dem bones, dem bones
Every
family
has closets
packed full of
skeletons,
but some rattle
more loudly
than others
