Wrinkles and Sentimentality
forming a smile brought on by the past
in baskets from the heart's aging memories
Stories told about times when things
were slower, and more nostalgic
or so it seems
at least now, when times have formed silver edges
Grey-headed, golden-hearted men
leaning back with a genteel smile
suggesting plans for boys
with hands in their pockets
and girls
with wide-eyed smiles
Wistful tales and wandering memoirs
you almost wish you were them
in their platinum youth
But you’ll have your day of wrinkles
and lovely old sentimentality
