Dance to the Good Songs

not wiser, despite what they say
not smarter as such
not more grounded
or more successful
or wiser
or improved memory
and as for stronger
and healthier
well
hah
but
as I get older
I will say
I get a little more determined
to dance to the good songs
about which
I mean
if that’s not an improvement
then I don’t know –
oh, won’t you excuse me
something’s just come on
