Not A Job Tongue

I have no plans to prepare myself

for the bleak marker in genetics

so my watchers will be comforted.

My thoughts will not spill

from a Job tongue to twist

the universe into prophetic kismet.

The sun is to bright,

music too beautiful,

poetry yet unwritten

for me to waste time

training for forgetting.

Recently my sister, Debby, shared this TED talk with me

How I'm Preparing To Get Alzheimer's. I watched it, and

then gave a hearty "Hell no!" to it. I wander occasionally

through the possibility of the monster lurking in me,

but I won't dwell or prepare for the disease.
