Irwin Garfinkle, a student in the Elderquest
program at Brandeis University, is the first of our elderquesters to
announce his quest in poetry. Sharon Sokoloff and Chuck Nicholas, his
facilitators, are delighted to help him along his way by presenting his
"published poem."
Is this all there is?
Yes, this is it.
Life goes to a certain end
With an open date.
I can't take it with me.
So what have I got?
No virgins, no resurrection,
No heaven, no hell. Oh well
Eighty is old, but don't rush me,
I can wait for a later date.
I have things to do! I'm on a quest.
Don't yet know what I'm questing for.
Maybe a published poem
