sometimes think I’m going to die
I mean, of course
I am going to die
but that’s nebulous and
post-menopause
post-cancer, post-covid, post-relapse, post-deathofparents, post-divorce
post-pleasenothingawfulwiththekids
post-life
I’ll die
and
it’s ok
because
I will have done it all by then
right?
But sometimes
there’s a fizz in my chest
and I think
what if I’m dying now
I mean, of course
I am
