Biologically Me


Being of a certain advancing age,
I rise to another day—one more than
I had yesterday, one fewer subtracted
from the inventory than I shall have
tomorrow (should my tenure here
on Earth be extended).

At this point, I have little to gain, as far
more of me shall drain incrementally
from the molecular biology of my being.

It is now that I understand (in scientific
terms) that the soluble properties of me
have been meted out and dwindle with a
precise degree of certainty.

Shocking! In short, I am progressively
dissolving microscopically, albeit naturally.
