Tuesday Poem: "Rewirement"

My friend Claire says

we’re headed for our best years

when our work will be

cogently argued and

with maturity.

There’s too much still to do.

We can’t retire

with all its connotations of growing

mouldy in an easy chair.

Let us not retire, she says,

so much better to “rewire”.

POET'S NOTE: This poem was inspired by a Facebook conversation that I had with fellow Tuesday Poet, Claire Beynon.
