When Did This Happen?

The old man I became when no one was looking
Walks with a cane, winces when climbing stairs.
My guess is I won't ride my bike anymore. Hikes
In the mountains are apt to be short...and flat.
The person I still think I am, lithe and able, is no
More. This antique I haven't accepted has slipped
In and taken his place.
