Surviving me improbably an
An old man doing what he can
Through the twists and turns of existing
Is in fact an act of resistance
It turns out to the twisting
Having lived to see it come
To be unforgiving and unfree
This fearful thing happening
Here gives me my chance to overcome
Too well I can tell from history:
Fantasy of another old man
Knowing more about mortality
No doubt about its outcome
I resist by insisting to be
Improbably still here to see it
Fall after all (and it will)
By existing I resist until
Having lived to see it go
