           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.
                                    gallagher
