People My Age

Have Started Looking Gross

I Cannot Say All

And I Shouldn't Say Most

I've Seen 'em In The Grocery

I've Seen 'em Up Close

(continued)

And People My Age

Have Started Looking Gross



People My Age

Are Showing Some Wear

There's Holes Where Their Teeth Was

And Their Heads Have Gone Bare

Their Brains Are Shrinking

Faces Sinking Into Fat

And As For The Mirror

We Won't Be Looking Into That



People My Age

Have Started Looking Gross

Maybe Not In Colorado

Or Up The Silicon Coast

Back In Pennsylvania

I'd Eat Scrapple On Toast

Those Were My First Steps

On The Road To Looking Gross



People My Age

Are Looking Overripe

Some Are Getting Operations

To Tighten Up What Ain't Tight

What Gravity's Ruined

They Try To Fix With A Knife

What's Pleasant In The Darkness

Is Plain Scary In The Light
