I live in the spaces
Between leaving and arriving,
Jumping and landing,
Fearing and surviving.
(Clutching my duffel bag on the bus

May I Never
A poem about getting old... and staying young.
May I Never

I may never reach a hundred, run for thirty miles,
I may never help the hungry, turn their cries to happy...
