The Panic of Growing Older The panic of growing older spreads fluttering wings from year to year At twenty stilled by hope of gigantic success time and exploration At thirty a sudden throb of pain. Laboratory tests have nothing to show Legs cribbed in domesticity allow no sudden leaps at the moon now Copybook bisected with red ink and failures nothing to show the world Three children perhaps the world expects it of you. No specialist’s effort there. But science gives hope of twice three score and ten. Hope is not a grain of sand. Inner satisfaction dwindles in sharp blades of expectation. From now on the world has you. — Lenrie Peters
