Tomorrow

There are times I think

I could outlive Methuselah

then I read about Tony Bennett

who can still sing his songs

but can’t work out

what a fork is for

and I ask myself

Do I really want 969 years?

Not that I really

have any say in it

I will last as long

as my body allows

and if tomorrow

is to be the day I die

it will be as good as any

for the occasion
