Dancing About Architecture

I am closer to 77
than I am to 7.
My forever is only
42 years long. 

I outlived Christ
and Bill Hicks,
and Belushi and Bangs,
but I wish I could be
40 for 40 more years.

I used to care about
new book launches,
and other bullshit,
but now I let the universe
figure it out. 

I am testing the limits
of the human heart
today and every day
with poetry and pain.
