What If We Die?
not tomorrow,
not right now,
not today,
not in two days,
Or three,
or four,
forty-four?
And what if we only last another year,
or two,
Or three,
or 4 …
or 44?
I suggest we count the years in negatives:
You’re born at zero and use up your life every day,
Day after day:
Today – minus one more…
tomorrow minus two,
Every day, a life used up:
You’ve lost another life today,
And tomorrow, if you’re lucky,
Perhaps you’ll lose another one.
What if we die?
…
And yet: what if?
Will we change even a little
the now
and
the whole second?
