we are all just decaying
slowly, systematically.
there's even a formula
one cigarette: -1 year
one night stand: -2 years
one broken heart: -3 years
add in heredity, longevity genes, disease
and you're already halfway there.
if you take two half lives,
do you take a whole?
or is it exponential
only ending when you run out of digits?
