Subtle Diminishing

It all began with silly jokes

Possibilities ignored and overlooked

About senior moments among old folks

Enjoying welcomed golden years

Of erring judgment and mistakes it evokes

Just shaking heads and dismissing, smiling

Realizing with fear it's not a hoax,

Sharing years of gathered memories

Annoying and puzzling the anger it provokes

Laughing, it's not me it's you

And the endless assemblies it convokes.

Do you remember the time...
