I am

seventy percent water
which is
two thirds hydrogen
and one third oxygen

and the
hydrogen part
has been around
since the big bang

and the big bang
happened
around fourteen billion years
before I showed up

so I am
fourteen billion thirty nine years

old

and the first few
were probably okay -

but those last thirty nine
are kicking my butt.
