The other day a doctor told me
that, other than the normal dying we did,
all of our life,
I may be faltering now
with a name.
Arthritic deterioration of the spine, he said,
a weapon which will invite injury
and reduce your flexibility, progressively
Old hedonistic athlete at thirty-seven, stop!
your time, so briefly shuttered between
your birth and death, is now exposed for transient
and, where you postured immortal,
you now have your ticket for the journey.
