Defeating self-defeat – Loneliness and procrastination
Lament for the Old
When I was a doctor
it was common practice
to avoid the geriatrics floor.
The most widely used rationalization
was the reminder
of our own ultimate demise.
But since my colleagues
knew not how to celebrate life,

I then took the time
to get to know some of these marvelous people,
three times my age,
who offered a wealth of experience
that spanned hundreds of years.
What was so obviously missing
was someone to share the fullness of the past
and to help relieve the loneliness of the future.
And maybe someone

when they died…
– Mr. Goulston is a third-year student at Boston University School of Medicine, Boston, Massachusetts.
