not gently into the night

old
age will humble us.
most of us.
some though will refuse
to acknowledge
the wrinkles,
the weight, the thinning
hair
gone grey.
they'll refuse the cane,
the walker.
doctors are for sissies
they'll say.
still playing 
the games they've always
played.
not gently are they going
into that
good night.
