You have given up a lot to
get here. Mostly, you had
very little to do with it.
Luck and the earth
circling the sun with
timing and consistency
are responsible for the
life you have led which
got you here.
Old age is
about conceding to the
inevitable, removing oneself
from the dangerous and
provocative.
You gave up fried foods,
women and bars some
time ago, adding years
to your longevity.
You were forced socially
and biologically to give
up control, buying yourself
less stress and more time.
Your leaking bladder
and irritable bowel
remind you who really
run the show now.
