For me, a philologue-grammarian, it is an apocalypse, I wonder at the perception.How beautifully it succeeded to pepict the transitions a human being is going through.

Thanks again Dimitrios. As you are catching up, I cannot respond to every comment. But as always I appreciate.

all the writing i've done, never thought to personalize, personify the tenses as periods of time. So effective, so well done. Thanks..

Thanks very much Marianne. Sometimes I feel like I am writing the same poem over and over in a slightly different way. But once in a while I stumble on something unique.
