Shane Markie - c.1965

Circa 1965, born 2 mos. premature barely alive.
Circa 1975, barely turning 10, wearing glasses the first time.
Circa 1985,2 years outta high school.
Circa 1995, I'm a thirty-year old fool!
Circa 2005, some forty years gone.

Circa 2015, I'll be made obsolete by society's obsession with the culture in the street.

Circa 2025,60 years gone, barely alive. Is this the planet Earth I'm on?

Circa 2035, will people still be reading this poetic jive?
