Aging as my father did

THE SMALL SIGNS I’M GROWING OLDER EXACTLY AS MY FATHER DID

Liver spots on the backs of my hands. Loss of
Interest in watching television, greater interest
In listening to other people. Occasional random
Missed strips of white whiskers from shaving, standing
Out because they’re whiter than my hair. Driving onto
And then back off the pavement. Forgetting keys,
Glasses, addresses, names, my own age, children. A large open spot
On the top of my head anyone looking down would
Understandably mistake for a UFO crop circle.
