I'm thinking of an ending

not to life, that's too drastic

but to some remote drama

too painful to resolve

that everyone would eagerly await.

 

I suppose that won't happen,

as endings require a push start at least

to lead up to themselves.

Mostly ideas just end up on shelves.

 

Life can be tantalizing

but mostly needs revising

to stay ahead of the game -

no use to lag behind,

winner takes all and that sort of crap.

 

But if I did make an ending

it would have to be a glorious thing

not a life misspent with an ignominious one

whatever that might mean;

you lot waiting for your endings

can work that one out,

i'm out

of here.
