Ageing by Dennis Brutus

Ageing  

The road, too, diminishes:  

one would see less if one tried:  

it is what ageing is about—  

if one gave it thought:  

generally though, one is content,  

eyes fixed on the road,  

content to see what can be seen,  

unanxious to speculate  

about a possible road—  

the diminishing road.
