ageless improvement

What do you think gets better with age?

timeless, caught in a river that won't let go,
keep paddling, push against the tides, and just don't,
for the love of all that's holy,
just don't drown,

fading into an ether made up of
dropped conjugations manipulated to make
time feel present, in the moment,
not quite the past

medi-tated      medi-cations,
mindlessly consumed for meaning, memory, madness
