Sort of sad Bill -----Original Message----- From: Poetryetc: poetry and poetics [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Bill Wootton Sent: 10 March 2015 21:29 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Retirement Retirement He was born for this. Been retiring his whole life. Withdrawing from expectations, impositions. Not averse to company but reluctant to join, to step up. Content to kick back. Opportunities rarely seized, regrets unformed. Days open up just wide enough thank you. But then ... No, there is no but then. bw
