will your poems age well?

I ask myself that all the time

unavoidable query

when you are doing sums,
and the bottom line, always the same,

your poems are all you got

that is,
100% all you,
more unique than your cell's DNA,
how they doing boy,
they hanging about,
are they aging well,
when you meet them in heaven,
what will you answer them?
