Le Poseur - Getting Old (Part II)

A blog about nothing in particular. Sometimes pretentious, like all good blogs should be... and often merely a dumping ground for links and web-junk likely of interest only to me.

Getting Old (Part II)

Watching the shied core
Striking the basket, skidding across the floor,
Shows less and less of luck, and more and more

Of failure spreading back up the arm
Earlier and earlier, the unraised hand calm,
The apple unbitten in the palm.

Philip Larkin, “As Bad As A Mile”
