Junior Words, 70



A High School Teacher’s Final List

List #14: (i) ephemeral, (j) voluptuary

So much seems so ephemeral
This thought just rattles in my skull.

Our looks, our youth—not permanent.
A guy I’ve met knows what that’s meant:

Voluptuary”—that’s the brand
He earned—all trim and tanned.

But then he aged—turned slack and gray—
And had to live another way.
