Subtle poem, with a tender-tough attitude toward life and the realities of aging. The connection between the epigraph and the theme seems purely on the surface until the last lines, and then it becomes more significant and apt. Love the humor, the good-natured view, and the close attention to such details as sound and tactile impressions.
