Journeywork

What do you expect of this aging physique?
He closes his gloomy eyes but not blind
And he is like a quiet cup of tea but not dumb.
He never listens but not deaf.
He is a Man once pushed a big Mountain
But the *Pickwickian already senile
And only the mountain cries.

* The simple, Goodhearted hero of Charles Dicken's Pickwick Papers.
