A

whem i was seven i met myself

when i was seven years old... i met
myself when i was nearly seventy...
not so gay.... was my surrounding...
no darkness... rather... translucent...
financially well-off at it seemed... my face
was young... no disease projected on him...
he was by himself where his... my wife
was somewhere else... and...
his... my daughter was not present there
no hinderance in his... my life...
i was reading... life...
seemingly motionless
