Ruminations on Realization that Steve Reich is 87
How sweet it was when one was young and clever,
And shocked the bourgeois public of the day!
For when we’re young we do our work and never
Fret the final curtain of our play.
But no one’s an iconoclast forever,
And younger folks will send us on our way,
Where we ‘ll endure the end of your endeavor,
An icon, or forgotten, or passé.
