Can you see that?
How all the different parts of your body are trying to slip away.
Take your hair.
When you were young, it was thick and black.
Now it's falling out.
It's leaving.
Your eyes used to be good and strong but now they're weak.
Your sight is unclear.
When your organs have had enough, they leave.
This isn't their home.
When you were a child, your teeth were healthy and firm.
Now they're wobbly and you've got false ones.
Your eyes, ears, nose and tongue.
Everything is trying to leave because this isn't their home.
You can't make a permanent home in conditions.
You can only stay for a short time.
And then you have to go.
It's like a tenant watching over his tiny little house with failing eyes.
His teeth aren't so good.
His eyes aren't so good.
