„how old are u my dear”
you ask me lazily
not wanting verify
what verify needs be
therefore in those few words
reply I to you
my
not so so dear
man friend
but still worthy reply
reply for others to see
acknowledgedly so
I am
old enough to play like a child
old enough to look back at the past
old enough to not look at last
old enough to smile at my smile wrinkles
old enough to know where pleasure lies
old enough to know my ties
old enough to not care about ur loves
old enough to not shiver at each time
old enough to wear an oldfashioned hat
old enough to keep my head so high
and for so long
with gentle smile
in front of your eyes
that you finally will
see oh so well so clear
my eternal
my visible-invisible crown
and old enough I am
to make your eyes
and head
carefully
and slowly
bow
