The Longevity Factor

There still trying to figure it out
How you make another year
No doctors Pills Aseptic techniques
Or Answers

Just tons of Books Strong Coffee
And Sunlight

They say it's in the "genes" 
And of course the "therapies"
Where you hash 
Your past 
Confront your demons
And for a future
Stay stuck

While people find themselves
Lose their habits 
And remain the same
You work on
Loosening yourself

Please
