Getting On

Not to have been before,
symptomatic of having crossed over.
Impartial?  Callous?
Ah, so indifferent the calculus of time.
Young nothing could prepare one
but, now, no more come-hither days.
Instead, left-over shadowy shadows
as incognito as windowless facades.
Even the most distant of winds tends toward it.

-- Frank C. Praeger
