Four Minutes

by John Sheirer


I saw a group of students playing basketball, so I stopped to watch.

After a minute, I thought, "It's hard to believe I'm more than thirty years older than those guys."

After two minutes, I thought, "I could still get out there and play."

After three minutes, I thought, "My bad knee hurts too much to stand here and watch."

After four minutes, I was gone.
