The Old Know What It Is/To Not Matter Anymore Poem by Shalom Freedman

The Old Know What It Is/To Not Matter Anymore



The old know what it is
To not matter anymore
To once have been needed
To once have been asked
To once have been wanted
The old know what it is
To not matter anymore
To wonder
If there is reason for living anymore
To feel small and contracted
Reduced and rejected
Small
To not matter anymore.
