Linking with the Sunday Muse for Muse #191 hosted this week by the utterly amazing poet Shay!

"Everything slows down with age, except the time it
takes cake and ice cream to reach your hips." - John Wagner
I have become heavy like a ship
But not so sea worthy
Capable of sinking at more than an iceberg
I cannot pinpoint the exact moment
Nor remember when I could no longer move with the ease of a
raven
I just know now my being is cumbersome and weary to run
It happened like wrinkles and joint pain
A slow conjuring of proof of the journey
Slow like a teenager heading to chores
But sooner or later the leaves are flying all around you
waiting to be raked
Dishes are crusted and need to be soaked
Just like my feet
