flu season is over

i am the oldest man in the world
a child with gray hair,
or wheelchair-bound, young and muscled
if you're close enough to see
the sweat on my eyelids
then you're close enough to share
and take the dive with me
but eventually i guess we'll
have to come up for air

(will we both know it was too good to last
so i'll extract my future from the static of your past)
