The other day, in the parking lot of a grocery store, two silver-haired gay men got out of a car and started walking toward the store. They were deep in conversation, looking at each other- dressed slightly alike in flannels and blue jeans.
As they passed by, I heard one of them ask the other,
"Have you gotten shorter than you used to be?"
to which the other replied,
"Yeah."
There was a pause,
then the first guy added,
"Me too."
To the beauty of watching each other grow shorter,
k.
