Age

Time creeps like
Weeds in my backyard.
For no good.
Eats lots of space.

Last year.
Yester year and
Even before that..
I breathed fine.
There was room 
For sighs and 
Extra gasps.

Now the age thumps
On my chest, like
An elephant made
Of responsibilities.
Making me lonely
And breathless.

Is choking innate
To adulthood?

Shoul I be carrying
A ventilator and
Incubator?
Or just marry to 
Make my copies
Because there's 
No hope on 
The adult me?
