Getting old?

Full of specific hardships, victories, ailments. In that way I'm far more different from my friends than you are from yours.

You get more and more particular while becoming more and more generic.

But the result of the particulars is a middle-aged man who has bog-standard worries. He's more familiar with death now. His old friends seem crazy and distant to him. His imagination falters under the weight of intrusions.

Every year, young people are more mysterious to him and the rebels from his childhood now appear in commercials to sell him medicine

He sits, and he looks out, his bones are cold, the sunrise pink is fuzzy until he puts on his glasses. He sips a brand of coffee he settled on 20 years ago, and which he will drink until he dies.

His aching knees are steve's tired mornings or joe's bad digestion or dave's sadness. Dan's kids won't call him, bob never had any, eric isn't as smart as he hoped he was. All different all identical.

I meant what's it like to be 8.

At 8 you start cleaning the cat shit.

Life is misery.
