How a title tells a lot
im intrigued by this Spanish poets Jaime Gil De Baidma poetry by perusing its title
If only for a moment( I will never be young again),it seems to embody the YOLO spirit of the young of today
you know age is catching up on you
when your memory bank gets leaky
and your account gets blocked when you key in the photocopier password into bank ATM
when your bladder gets leaky
and you keep extra undies in your handbag for emergency use
you know your days are numbered
when you attend funerals more than weddings
and the pasar malam vendor calls you Ah So Madam instead of liang lui or pretty girl
you know your joints are problematic
when you find it hard doing the balancing act over a squat toilet
and the click sound comes from your shoulder joint and not the button of the camera phone.
when replacements cause a bomb
and you need eveything from a heart transplant to hair transplant
from breasts implants to dental implants
you find you are no longer irresistible
shortly after only totally replaceable
if only i can be young again
if only for a moment
