there are things to do,
lilies to grow.
stella d 'ore's blooms
are my galaxy.
irises' blueŠ fill
my eyes with
ecstasy,
i don't do old
i do global warming

and Al Gore's concern
with climates
in crisis.
my affinity is with
the arctic- ice, melt, water,
polar bears
drowning -
i don't do old.
god's creativity,

my spirit.
art, literature
can fill me
with awe.

never, i will
never age out,
i don't do old.
kindness spins
my web,
altruism, a.i.d.s, h.i.v.,
world poverty
are my bondsŠ
entanglements of
laughter are the gossamer
threads that
tie my connections togetherŠ
i won't do old
