All that I can afford

right here is an amplifier-
age: numbers we may overcount.

a wit, a warm will that I admire-
youth: such an enormous amount.

should this body dismember-
love: a glue designed to engraft

all I afford to, I remember
self: same, the first and final draft.

when this youth begins to age,
a good preserve may be love and self.
