YOU ARE GOING TO DIE

 

You are going to die.

You will lose your ability

to sustain yourself.

Your partner will hurt you,

many times.

You will be alone,

all of your friends long gone,

            if you are lucky.

 

So stop wearing black shoes.

Anonymously buy the meal

            of that young couple

            three tables away.

Make noise in public places.

With a wide open mouth

passionately kiss the trusted one

who will always bring you tea.

 

You are going to die,

            but not today.
