This certainly fits the pace of life at an advanced age, Tabby. All the exit ramps have been explored. All the signposts, billboards, and even those Burma-Shave leads have disappeared in the rear view mirror. Now it's straight ahead until morning with a more focused perspective guiding our flagging energies. Thank you for this poem, Tabby.
