November 19, 2013 (I was 69)
When it comes to decomposition
given enough time we‘re
talking
reduction to basic elements
of matter
miniscule matters of
substance
We come more and more to
resemble
photos of our aged
grandparents
Freedom of choice is cosmetic
and fashion
the bell curve arc of
hormonal behavior
the youthful excursions of
chemical consciousness
Occupation and
pre-occupation labor and fanaticism
diminish to the essential
choice we did not make
It’s a matter of genetics
But what of the consciousness
that knew existence
What of the awareness of is
the natural selection of
continued perception
of which the I was
made
In what realm of protean
DNA does it continue
to re-form in purposeful
progression
Always this veil of the
incomprehensible
