I've Been 16 for 34 Years

Today's 50-year-old is the new 30-year-old. Do the math. It means...when we turned 16 we were really minus-4-years-old. This explains a lot. The corpuscles from our teen years still bob along through the arteries of our hearts detouring around the clogs of middle age searching for a place to fit in. We can laugh we can cry but 16 became a part of us. It's still lurking in murky corners. These essays and exaggerations will comfort you like a C+ on a calculus quiz. Hmmm...is it too late for extra credit? This modest epic has enabled thousands of humans to enjoy the imperfect wrinkles of life-without need for popularity prestige prosperity or plastic surgery. It could be in your hands. What are you waiting for? You're not getting any younger.
