Excuses

I'm already in my
seventies
why quit
now.

It's all the stress
that's what made me
sick.

I don't drink enough
water
it's really got nothing to do
with my
weight.

My watch says it's
7:55
maybe your clock is
broken.

I don't need a
walker
I'm just a little
dizzy.

I'm already
It's all
I don't
my watch

Are your reasons
for why you haven't
and won't
and didn't
piling up
like possibilities
left undiscovered
crunched beneath
unwilling feet.
