On Aging

WILD put out the call, and the poets answered—some with wisdom, some with humor, and some with a little bit of both.

Here's to aging: when you forget why you walked into a room, but you finally understand why your grandma always laughed at her own jokes.

But seriously, aging is a beautiful, messy, and sometimes hilarious journey. The poems that came back remind us that with every year, we get a little wiser, a little funnier, and definitely a little more comfortable with our weirdness.
