Dying

You

Look up

From your

Business

And see

Darkness.

Night came,

But you

Didn't know.

You remember

With a jolt--

You are

Dying.

You've been

Dying

Since you

First lived.

Dying.

A light

Burning,

Suddenly

Exploding, 

Forcing

The world

Into

Uncomfortable

Depth.

You

Stumble

To the mirror.

Do you see

The future?

No.

The future

Is death--

Black,

Unknowable.

The past

Is dead--

A shadow

Of nothing.

Now

You are

Dying,

Drowning

In a glass

Half full

Of life.
