it seems a phrase i have not used recently.
it seems i ought to keep quiet,
and get on with it any way.
there are enough disturbances in the world,
without another.

I’ve been using that phrase frequently. Pretty much every time I look in the mirror. Thanks for reminding me that losing my youth does not count as a catastrophe, whether or not that’s the intent of your poem.
Best wishes.
