He grew older
and older
and kept
wrinkling away
lost his muscle mass
his youthful strength
his stallion virility
in his muscled up youth
he never
believed he’d get
weak and scrawny
one day
but at least he
kept working out
without the pump
without the gains
he had in his muscular
younger years
he resigned himself
to the muscle
and strength losses
by knowing soon
he’d die
and believing
in the afterlife
he’d be strong
and muscled up
again
