the last slow dance

he seems to be aging
in reverse,
the mind sound,
the hearing
better.
his feet move
to the music, though
he's sitting down.
just his eyes are a problem.
but he feels
his way 
about the world. he laughs,
he jokes.
he eats
and sleeps, he even makes
love
when given
the chance.
what is there not to like
about 96?
