How many deaths
Do you die in a week?
Little deaths like diamonds
Or rare artworks of
Intricate paper
Popping brain cell deaths
Bubble wrapping snaps
With each sip of wine
Balloon deflating slow deaths
From a cadaverous glare
By a disingenuous boss
The sound of the present
Dying as it groans
Into my past
The death of hope
The death of youth
the death of faith
But a little metaphysic
Tickle in my noggin
A jostle of my medulla
At the base of my brain
A primal tickle
All twee and shy
The tickle of hope
In the pit of
Pandora's box
What is growing there
New life laid bare
By a burning ego
How many lives
Do you live in a week?
