Words by David Ignatow (1968)
We're not going to die.
We'll find a way.
We'll breathe deeply
and eat carefully.
We'll always think on life.
There'll be no fading for you or for me.
We'll be the first
and we'll not laugh at ourselves ever
and your children will be my grandchildren.
Nothing will have changed
except by addition.
There'll never be another as you
and never another as I.
No one will ever confuse you
nor confuse me with another.
We will not be forgotten and passed over
and buried under the births and deaths to come.
