What was so a part of me slips away like sunlight at sunset, and into the dark I go.
Thanks to rmschaver for this welcomed reminder from my long forgotten past. How excellent. Perhaps I could try to read it again, as I am now at this stage of my life and experience. (LARGE PRINT maybe?? )

Flowers for Algernon. Yes. This. Exactly.
So mindfully, painfully, excruciatingly aware.

Your analogy to Algernon sparked my recall of another likely metaphor for it , thank you kindly. And that's of "Hal" as the onboard computer in the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Thanks for Algernon, rmschaver.
