my array of vices are my age

yet they seem like strangers

(i am horrified at their familiarity towards me        these imposters i have not heard from for years        that now breathe into my face without reserve)

the way acquaintances from school

appear and behave like the long lost best friend one can never remember having or wanting

the ones who overstay their welcome       no       just overstay

to wave from across the road or from another continent is all too close

this array of my vices
