EXPIRATION DATE
Do I have an expiration date?
It seems my body thinks I do,
‘Cause my heartbeat slows more each day,
My lungs gasp for air all the time,
And my legs can’t seem to hold my weight.
My bones crack and snap with each move I make,
My muscles don’t know what to do,
my feet ache with each step I take
And my knees lock up too.
My eyes aren’t seeing that good these days,
My fingers can’t bend that well
My hearing is fading too,
Can you tell?
What is my expiration date?

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
