Tag: age, death

Multiplying my age by 2 in my head/I’m a grandfather. Or Dead.

Another remarkable thing about the dead is that they are all ages, preserved at every age you ever knew them, and at no age at all.

Sheri S. Tepper

We’re so old that the winds of age echo along our ribs and pick at our eye sockets. We could be gone tomorrow. A chill, say, or a little slip on the cliff side. I feel as fragile as a dried flower. I rattle a little in the moving air, but I’m only coherent dust-a shape of what once was. My essence is going.

Hell, I don’t want to grow old at all. I never want to die.

Old age is not as honorable as death, but most people seek it.
