Appraisal
Life’s mystery deepens as time proceeds.
He’s less sure now of everything.
And doubt turns out to have its thrills.
Nearby Muzak — or whatever — plays a vintage tune
Conjuring parties long past, elsewhere some tabloid
Headlines a famous beauty’s imminent demise.
Life’s mystery deepens as time proceeds.
The past catches up as the future recedes,
While deflowered winter courts the barren heart.
