Intriguing in its essential meaning (to me anyway).
There's no use pretending:
To fate we're all bending;
What's a life made of
but beginning and ending.

Ha-ha...the wife will probably hope it continues so she can get more
words in without you being able to interrupt or disagree.
Your condition brings to mind an affliction apparently suffered by
the odd contributor to WOL - "Tom's-silly-itis" - a relation to your own
affliction but not recognised by its sufferer who aggravates it by
spouting gratuitous tosh of a "sore" nature.

Still pent up on what is and what isn’t a poem eh?

Maybe start your little club up again so you aren’t so alone, seeing as every time I invite you to join us you straight up ignore me like your bestie Brian does.

There's a real message here Tommy, that we can be haunted by ourselves or who we think we are, and so on and so on reflected. I think this a lovely poem , no frills and tightly presented.

Ray (I have to say your photo is quite daunting too!)
