I'm sixty-six years old,
People ask me "When do you plan to retire?"
I am baffled by the question,
I haven't given it much thought,
I'm in a state of denial,
I want things to continue on as before
Work, and love, and getting and spending,
It doesn't seem attractive that I must live on a fixed income,
Cooking beans and spaghetti on the stove,
Waiting for God on the cheap.
