The panic of growing older
Spreads fluttering winds
From year to year
At twenty
Stilled by hope
Of gigantic success
Time and exploration
At thirty
A sudden throb of pain
Laboratory tests
Having nothing to show
Leg cribbed in domesticity allow
In domesticity allow
No sudden leaps
At the noon now
Copy book bisected
With red ink
And failures
Nothing to show the world
Three children perhaps
The world expects
It of you. No
Specialist effort there
But science gives hope
Of twice three score
And ten. Hope
Is not a grain of sand
Inner satisfaction
Dwindles in sharp
Blades of expectations
From now on the world has you
