Hi tectak-
Interestingly, I read through this one very quickly, and I'm I sure the repeating lines helped with that. If I were to write as if I were 92, I'd probably come up with something that moves in fits and starts like this.
That said, I have a neighbor who is 93, and she still works, drives, and converses completely coherently. She would be the exception to this poem's "rule", and I only bring her up because this poem made me think about her.
I find that the content is the only thing for which I have a comment, because the form "is what it is" once it gets started.
I hope this makes sense. Or maybe I'm getting too old to read things clearly.
... Mark
