As I age, I see a difference in the way people look at you and treat you. I'm not talking 'with respect' or 'contempt' it is actually closer to suspicion. They seem to be suspicious that you are going to do or say something that will require support.
The Twilight Zone
Used to be tales of mystery and
imagination,
designed to thrill causing the heart to
flutter,
now it’s more about causes for
exclusion,
and hazards making steps that stutter.
Disturbing bumps in the night,
inexplicable sounds cutting through
sleep,
another reason to turn on the
light,
watching the hands of the clock
creep.
Hardly surprising when you don’t
work anymore,
that sleep is no longer a priority,
need other purposes to dip into the energy store,
while searching for life's clarity.
Seems sleeping light encourages
dreaming,
strange dreams of people and past,
the brain not just reflecting life
and living,
creating new visions on which
nothing to hang fast.
So having moved from working situation,
to a grey transitional state,
partly evidenced by friend and
relation,
we are now in some place to wait.
