some are already
there
some busy themselves
committees, volunteers
puffing up their egos
prove they are really here
some stay sequestered
at their desks
and count their stuff
unable to divert
their thoughts from
the inevitable end
and some of us
still linger in our youth
before the wrinkle
lines
dancing and loving
on the brink of eternity
the rest still gather
at the retirement home bar
savoring Happy Hour
and given the challenge
of news from outside
you'd never guess how
safe and satisfying it is
to be with friends
at Journey's End
