Bucket List

you can't beat this thing

anyone who's ever thought

they did

had to sacrifice

crucial aspects

of their self

so then you can lose at it

which also sucks

is hazardous to different

aspects of your health

you can’t beat this thing

this every day living of error

this hat shoe shirt

that does not cannot

ever fit

would be nice to end

this thing though

before the final sun

sets in the final sky

over the final seas

fires drought plagues

all that biblical stuff

playing out as the credits roll

on us

good “bucket list” item

for us

maybe even then

the film reel

could break

and the theater

go dark

while we reorient

ourselves
