there is not enough time
left on this earth
to live
what hasn’t been lived
before now.
in catching up
on a life that was lost,
I’d miss the living
in front of my face.
and my time
so
so
precious
would surely be
wasted
times
two.
there is not enough time
defying atrophy 
I can relate to “catching up on a life that was lost.” Your conclusion is wise. Perhaps I needed to read that truth.
