The Minute I Realized I Was Old

came when smoothing out
wrinkles from the prior life
of a twelve by fifteen inch
rectangle of aluminum
foil. Now a small metallic
square reflecting our
lemon-painted kitchen,
I bury it in the wrapper
drawer, where it will
discuss reincarnation
with its plastic cousins.
