Are We Any Older? by Lynn White

Am I any older
my dear, tell me
I cannot tell 
can you
tell me,
are you any older,
my dear tell me
if you can 
tell,
can you tell?

Can you tell
if we have aged 
from the inside out
or the outside in
or is it just on the outside
only on the outside.
I think 
we should keep it outside.
Tell me
that we can keep it outside
my dear, tell me.
