a piece

I would like to propose a piece making use of these bits of text. a good impro rule is to use these lines only. Think of theatrical metaphors. juxtapositions, playing with opposites. Think beyond the literal. The visual should comment on the words not say the same thing words are saying.

From age uk

Nearly half (49%) of all people aged 75 and over live alone
those aged 50 to 59 – only around half (53 per cent) said they had hopes or ambitions.

60% of older people in the UK agree that age discrimination exists in the daily lives of older people

Nearly 2.5 million people over 75 live alone; 1.8 million of these are women.

For the first time in history, there are 11 million people aged 65 or over in the UK1

There are more pensioners than there are children under 16

“When You Are Old"
When you are old and grey and full of sleep, And nodding by the fire, take down this book, And slowly read, and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep; 
How many loved your moments of glad grace, And loved your beauty with love false or true, But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face; 
And bending down beside the glowing bars, Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled And paced upon the mountains overhead And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.” ― W.B. Yeats
