Hardly Ever
– close to hereafter –
Tho ye be willing
Accept said clever
Without doubting
Aimed endeavour,
Thus, to conciliate
Fated last forever,
Relieved of debate
Afar reach of a tether,
With life due late date
Hence holds hardly ever,
Ye found close to hereafter!
Ode to Edgar Allan Poe,
master of morbidity…

Poetry on a canapé 
Can have multiple meaning. Relieved of debate. I like that a lot!
It’s a kind of one size fits all, save for they who have not yet stopped growing, physically at least.
You have an wonderful way of reflection on the aging process, Jean-Jacques!
Practice, analytical skills and good mirror, my dear, does help.
