Flashing Before My Eyes
A confusing end
I’m fifteen, and kissing
Clumsily
No idea at all
.
I’m six, there’s a teddy bear
Pink and white
Brown button nose
.
Thirty-five and staring
Distraught
At my aging face
.
This isn’t right
.
I’m in my pram
A baby
Old woman cooing over me
.
Forty, and there’s a cake
Cheers and laughter
Wine too
.
Eleven and painfully pining
It’s hard
Unrequited love
.
Shouldn’t it be in order?
Sequential
This is a confusing end to it all
.
Sixty and swimming in a warm sea
Too far out
Feeling weak
Floundering
Sinking
