Age
Sing us a song, you’re the piano man
Billy Joel crooned that tune
from the tiny tinny radio
in my high school bedroom,
with its white provincial
furniture and gold shag
carpet. I listened as I did
my French homework
and dreamed of a life larger
than could be lived
in Skaneateles, New York.
Fifty years ago
that album came out.
Fifty years ago.

Music is the only Time Machine I know of
I have the same reaction to things that happened fifty years ago. How could fifty years have passed? How could I be 70 years old??#!!
