a lot of people have , in song thought writing and poetry often thought - "what if today was the last day of my life ?"
in this era of speed-dating and speed-employment and just plain speed .... i propose to take it a bit further. what if this is the last minute of your life ?
what would you do in this last 60 seconds that would make it the final bookend in this long bookcase?
i think of eliminating all that i wouldnt do.
- hug my parents - its too trite and formulaic , i've been doing it a lot throughout my life
- write a letter - dont know if that is going to make it through whatever wipes me out
- write an email - would anyone care to answer ?
- write a poem - it could be a bad one - who'd want to go out with bad type?
- run around like crazy - i havent done it all my life (last 12 years anyway) and why would i run around since im not supposed to know im going to end 45 seconds later?
what i'd probably do is - what i've been doing so long that its been sort of like second nature to me,
nothing!
after all i came FROM nothing and im about to BECOME nothing ... so why bother?
