Tears more often now.

Advancing years?

As my mind drops the baggage of a profession hard pursued, my emotions are closer to the skin.

A simple YouTube song sung by street people causes spasms in my throat. A song heard at a distance sends a tide of memories through me. I am helpless.

Suits and ties worn for decades now abhored.

All seems so thin now. It consumed so much of me. What did it bring? What did it leave?
