I can move from my armchair to the hammock
or to the lounge chair on the deck
I can lie down on the couch
stretch out in front of the TV
read all day and roll over
stay in bed until noon
or get up at 3AM to have a drink
I can sleep, snore, snooze and dream
all day and all night long
I can answer the phone
if I feel like it
take out the trash or not
go for a swim whenever I’m hot
drive or walk to town
shop and cook or go out to eat
have a beer for lunch or two
shave or grow a beard
watch other people work
talk about the old times
dream about the future
remember not the blather on
and pretend to be still young
