Ex Libris. Poems

On having attained insurance age 76 years

With age I have grown weaker.
I was never very strong.
But now I am even less able
    to carry any load,
To be a beast of burden,
For those who prefer
    to not carry their own weight.
It does not bother me,
So long as I can
Turn the pages of my book.
(+2022.10.20. MtK)
The real real

All the wisdom
of the ages
means nothing,
if you cannot
feed your face.
(+2022.10.31. MtK)
