Putting things right, or just his obit to bedight?

The bewildered geezer
slowing on uptake
finds much a brain-teaser
in outlook opaque

Now bumbling, befuddled
way less done than watched
by no smartphone cuddled
His past badly botched:

Got to live long to gain insight
given chance to make things right?
Or just fake alibis airtight
his slim obit to bedight?

Gets close now to Eternity’s Trip
so little time left to get a grip!
