On ALS, , A Farewell Symphony?


While it's true that nobody,

no matter how  athletic, rich or clever,

manages to prolong   life's melody

into a symphony that lasts forever,

there's something about ALS

that makes it especially hard to process,

or take with a grain of salt,

as one's  body music   grinds to a halt.


 

After a  muscle twitch here or a clumsy fall there,

with   fewer trumpets horns and strings,

previously  simple jobs like walking or  breathing air

become much harder to accomplish  things 
 
and there is less and less of "you" there. 


And whether physicist, baseball star or CEO,

all  know it  soon may be time to go

and  prepare to   to face the test 

of that inevitable  final rest.
