I really like this poem, Bob! Is it new? I just tweaked a poem with similar content, its joy being a woman’s hot flash and all that rushing back LOL. Congratulations!

Oooooo, the things that come to mind reading “the overwhelming surge / into what will never again / be new” … so often the human temptation is to “do one better” … these lines seem to discourage such. Restraint is probably good more often than not.
