Greedy for Life

I have been greedy for lives,
one was never enough.
I have walked naked through forest
with blowgun and darts.
I've been dockworker, shipbuilder,
astrologer, farmer, physician,
practicer and patron of the arts,
Pagan, Christian, Jew,
to name only a few,
woman, man, boy, girl,
high and low class,
married, single, multilingual.
I know the present
and I know the past,
why should I not know
the future too,
if this greed for life
shall last?
