WHAT IS

What is being depressed at 20
As opposed to taking a shower at 90
What is going to bed with a woman at 21
As opposed to getting out of bed without a woman at 81
What is reading poetry at 16
As opposed to putting on your shoe at 89
What is writing poetry at 39
As opposed to getting undressed at 93
What is getting drunk at 30
As opposed to drinking water without spilling at 90
What is doing a PhD in linguistics at 29
As opposed to getting a pass from the idiot clerk at 74
What is climbing the Himalayas at 26
As opposed to climbing into a bus at 86
What is sitting in a staff meeting at 55
As opposed to sitting on the toilet at 83
What is listening to celestial music at 32
As opposed to hearing a knock on the door at 82
What is levitating in meditation at 37
As opposed to standing up in the bath-tub at 97
What is writing this while sitting down at 40
As opposed to reading this while lying down at 90
And then trying  
To get up
