DEATHMODE (typical constant thoughts of an old fart)
I wouldn't have the slightest problem
if ever asked
'what is it that haunts you most?'
my answer
which I have carried on the tip of my tongue
ever since the naive youth in me
gave up his silly assumption
of being immortal
having waited for such a moment
would be
'I can tell you exactly what it is'
it is the draining of time
as if in liquid form
being poured away-
my vessel of existence emptying
unstoppably so
and by realising that this diminishing of my days
is gaining momentum
accelerating
brings on the fear of how very close
the transience could be
that I could without warning
suddenly arrive on my final day
incredulous that it....
is.......
all.........
OVER!
