I am past my prime…

I am past my prime.  Yesterday, I was not.

With the passage of just one day, I’m a year older.  What a cruel trick!  Surely it’s a mathematical impossibility.

How can time contract so? Am I living in a gravitational anomaly?

Yesterday, I was the product of two prime numbers.  Today, I’m the cumbersome product of an unlucky number and the square of a prime number.  It’s a demotion, for sure – and an awfully inelegant piece of arithmetic!

However, next year I will return to my prime, as I will in 7 years and in 9 years time.  Getting older gives me something to look forward to!
