immortality

The day ruled cool and crisp

As it came to me like a conscience

My temperature climbed well above the normal

And sweat poured through every inch of my body

My blisters bled freely through torn socks

And tears welcomed this moment absurdity

Death came and laughed

But jolted off in another direction

Unable to suppress his own laughter

I heard the flopping wings of crows

They hurriedly descended upon my feet 

I gaped at them and yanked my feet away.
