You'll make sense of it, somehow, not sure when, but you will x

Allen, knowing you as I do, I can totally emphasise with your sentiments expressed here. I guess we truly never own anything, even our own bodies, and as to our own house, I tell my wife to imagine it as will be when someone else lives here - most probably a stranger.

Blessings and love

I'll echo what I wrote before, you bring forth truth with elegance.

hi Allen,
as always its always nice to take a stroll in your mind and the ways of your heart through these poems and if you allow us such easy comfortable access, why to hold anything against these physicians who are just doing their job. and so that they do not trespass, they have such huge manuals. but i also like how you permit us or rather invite us to roam free with your words.
And it feels good sometimes to devote attention to things which take our attention away from ourselves.
A beautiful poem, indeed. (I did write so much but its okay, i guess)

I believe one should keep going as long as one can keep on keeping on! However, at times I feel that all the music, literature and correspondence I keep in my southern retreat - my old apartment which I keep, and return to for periods now and then - are a bit too much, belonging to another era, another time - but I found a way out, donating the lot to one of Sweden's foremost antiquarian bookstores, to be delivered when I'm out of this world, and they have accepted that deal. But I think that your thoughts in the poem come to most people who get as old as we, 'cause surely we're beyond what we had expected, aren't we!

You could dwell on thoughts of mortality, but that's not much fun. Besides, doctors' diagnoses aren't always correct. You may as well go on working to make your life more pleasant. There's satisfaction in that, and you may end up having quite a bit of time to enjoy the improvements you've made.
