As long as I keep breathing
I still have something to go on
As long as I keep eating
I can still take something in
As long as I keep walking
I can still put my foot down
As long as I keep talking
I can still put in a good word
As long as I keep dreaming
I still have some place to go
As long as I keep peeing
I can still go with the flow
As long as I keep loving
I am still available to awe
As long as I keep laughing
I am still in the service of joy
From the book, Packing Up For Paradise Selected Poems 1946-1996
