Surprised - edit2
#3
edit;


You’re old, almost
as old as I am now–

Surely you’ve walked
into a second or third room
and wondered why
you came here–

then found a glass
part-full of wine
in your hand
that you’d thought was empty.

But there it is
and here you are,
my dear.



Good critique for a short work!  The typo is fixed (I'm the world's worst proofreader... of my own stuff).  And changing "half" to the less specific also avoids a difficult-to-pronounce f-to-f in that line (my lips move when I read - sometimes sounds emerge!)

Thanks!
