Cathode Afterlife
The joyous song and dance man
--- deceased and buried in the 1980s ---
suddenly now on the tv screen
in one of his old movies,
tripping "the light fantastic"
across the tap dance limelight stage.
Ars longo, vita brevis.*
A Latin translation of Hippocrates' aphorism from its original Greek, often translated as meaning "Art is long, life is short".
