Revisiting Youth

Did it go in? Yes. Are you lying? Yes.
Thus the conversation between two
octogenarians, he administering
post-surgical drops after her eye
surgery in a seemingly endless
therapeutic exercise ensuring the
success of the surgery and its 
aftermath, though to her the reality
of improved eyesight remains in
question. His patience legendary
as it was in contradiction to her
lack of it when they raised their
brood in an earlier lifetime together.
Now in their dotage however they
have discovered the formula of
renewal one they cannot patent nor
would they disclose it for they barely
realize themselves that they have
both reverted to childhood, she
in her proclivity to non compliance
and he in remonstrating for her
own good in role reversals, he
the parent, she the whining child.
