The madness of life


Life's infancy is delivered with a long-lasting magical madness
dissolving to reveal a fog of portent adolescent angst
supplanted by love and laughter collapsing into
the craziness of family life or singularity of
batchelordom all to diffuse their light
across a blur of middle-age spread
reduced in the twilight of years
where age-related conditions 
eat holes in the brain and 
at the end of the day 
the only sane thing 
to do is to
die
.
