She's Quite Old

That Victorian isn't old. That car
isn't old. My Sinatra records aren't
old. Not that old. Not really.
Even that old tree isn't old.

That old woman
who just walked past
like she just stepped out
of Deuteronomy

with a flock of goats trailing behind

and a thin little stick
and a plan
to get them all
to water by nightfall.

That old woman is old.

What do you think?

"just stepped out of Deuteronomy"--righteous!

goat herding will do that. btw, goat domestication is documented in the highlands of western Iran at 10,000 calibrated calendar years ago.

goat herding is old.

Forsake not an old friend, for the new is not comparable unto him. A new friend is as new wine: when it is old thou shalt drink it with pleasure.
--- Old Testament, Ecclesiasticus ix. 10.
