Fair to middlin' of nowhere

By now I thought
I would think
differently

Fifty-three years of maturity
checking every choice
for childish whims
or flip of the coin considerations

By now I thought
I would feel
differently

Fifty-three was supposed to be
settled tranquility
not the same old me
questioning my sanity

By now I thought
life would be
so different

Fifty-three years of practice
it should all be routine
not thinking twice
about everything

I think I need to start writing generic comments instead of trying to make a statement.
