“The Eyes or The Shoulders”
Just finished brushing my teeth,
In the mirror I wondered,
What becomes tired first?
The eyes or the shoulders?
Almost 49 years now,
I am simply not sure.
Is it the eyes or the shoulders?
Which show most what we’ve endured.
I clearly wasn’t paying attention,
After knot ridden shoulders,
After all the tears.
So, which is it?
Our eyes?
Or our shoulders?
After there have been so many,
Of life’s many boulders.
