The sidney keyes paradox.

The most important thing you can do in life is die.

i think

i was born

in the wrong

time

a boy like me

usually

gets shipped off

to war, to die

with his lover's

image, in his

bootstraps

blood soddened

my poems

should be letters

to my mother

not seen by eyes

i know

ive lived past

my allotted time

so i beg my question

when is it my turn to die?

I hate the "I was born in the wrong generation" culture/conversation. I just think that's how my story should have played out.
