I like it from title to ending line. Everything just fits each other perfectly. I like the idea of aging as something that has "no dress rehearsal" and something that "just...happened". It's so true and yet so creatively told.

Great poem. First stanzas shows about the here and now. The second stanzas about looking back and see that your old. The last stanzas confirms the 2nd stanzas. Good job. Ethan

Whooa, I love that first stanza. That is a great line, it almost sounds like a quote.
