before reading writing
first you open the file
then words appear in it
what you have thought
takes the form of words
arranged in even lines
nine stanzas on decline
taking different forms
be ready for surprises
gradually creeping up
and suddenly revealed
years having elapsed
you know you're old
yet uttterly yourself
productive having fun
meanwhile older still
laugh at your limits
continue making art
eat healthy exercise
whatever your thing
keep right on doing
decline is underway
denial useless time
leaving you behind
read Pessoa Énard
Andric Stein write
everything you can
