The Sexagenarian

Aging is not ‘lost youth’ but a new stage of opportunity and strength. – Betty Friedan

So, I am at the liquor store.

See this old guy.

Only time I see him is at the liquor store.

Like he’s some sort of drunk.

Only place ever sees me, he points out.

The bastard.

Still a sexagenarian, I tell him.

He smiles, like he sees pictures in his head

moist naked women.

Sounds good for you, he says.

What’s a sexagenarian?
