OLD AGE


 
Hours are always designated by the same numbers,
From one to twelve,
But the hours with the same numbers are never the same.
 
Twelve o'clock is different
When you are twenty,
When you are forty,
When you are sixty.
 
But at seventy, the hours
No longer have numbers;
The hours have only breasts, only breasts.
