at 50 (day 27)

three teenaged boys
drive by me
in a truck
as i run
yelling sarcastically,
'Go, old man!'
i smile knowing
today at 50
i'm running farther
and faster
than i ever
did at their
age. 

for aging adventurously, 
Thanks.

Amen.

    Advanced age, like scars, is an indication of a tenacious survivor.

      ...or someone who's been lucky enough to not be pulled completely under by the vortex of adversity ;)
