[reanactment of jelousy]

was walking the longest yard and was blocked by this aged couple walking 1 km/hour in front of me.highly irritated and getting to the point to "pek-chekness" i slowed down naturally, and watched as this pint size lady with iron grey hair slowly walked erm well.. crawled her way towards this elderly old guy. in that same 0.1km/hour rate i watched her slowly take his hand. both ambled on.
i watched

such "longevity"
...i would like that kind of longevity too.something that last and stretches for that long till i get old and turn to ash iron grey too.
perphaps when we get old and older we should all pray for such a time and comfort in our lives
to find someone to hold your hand or push your wheelchair
i would.

i walked away then
still turning back every now and then to watch the old couple getting smaller and fade to the distance.

i didn't know how i felt then not able to achieve anything close
i went home later on and started this frantic search for the greys amongst my own hair.

i managed to find just one.
frustrated i took another "stroll" to the toliet and flushed that evil strand of grey.
i comfort myself now with warm water and a glimmer of hope-
that perphaps by looking younger i see no need to wish for longevity
