I think this makes me a minority group of cardinality 1!

* Since there's only one of me and "personae" is plural (I think), I've gone with dramatis persona.

43. Dying [100 poems challenge]

 

43.          Dying

My knees have trouble bending,
My mem’ry sometimes disappears,
Close focus is extending.
