Living Forever Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

Living forever

The knowledge of living forever
is already here, all one has to do
is renewing one's cells once a year
beginning at the age of forty
or there about when a person is
self -sufficient.
It is also possible to renew cells so
often that one regress to infancy
and looked after by your son who
is unable to grasp that he is changing
his father's nappy.
But longevity has its own risk how to live
you can alight from the 9 bus
and be knocked down by a car,
the autopsy would show the killed person was not
forty years old but 110.
The best way to be old is to kill someone in Oklahoma
get 200 years in a padded cell
befed through a slot in the wall
And when the years come to an end,
refuse to leave the prison, your home on earth.
