Gonna Die Young

The idea is to die young as late as possible. – Ashley Montagu

The old man had never grown up

and you don’t have to be Stephen Hawking

to discern a problematic probability.

In typical style, he’d been about seventy

when he figured that out.  No need for applause, thank you.

Least he finally figured it out, at least he did that.

There’s a puppy in my heart

and he still wants to play.

    Dog year is s’posed to be seven years of a human year. Smartest dog s’posed to be as smart as a seven-year-old human. My life has been every decade or so equals a year. Makes me about seven.
