Step into the exoskeleton Age Suit,
feel what it’s like to be 20, 30, 40 years older— 
software-simulated stress, stiff joints,
impaired vision, hearing, tinnitus ringing.

Despite medical advances—
joints replaced, hearts transplanted, 
cataracts repaired, a nip, a tuck here, there— 
we age, cope, confront new challenges:
night driving, low-rise chairs, steep stairs.

Conjure a reverse-age Smart Suit, 
simulate loose-limbed youth. 
Recapture sure-footed balance. 
Romp with raptors on thermals. 
Fall down, get up again.
