A Flash In the Pan
embrace the utterly fleeting nature of your
existence
for within moments you will disappear
& all that you think matters now
all your
plans
for future endeavors, for relationships, for trips &
attempts at ascension within some kind of
labor structure---
they all are reduced to the head of
a
needle---
& as the smoke from that last obliterating fire
you’re whisked away by the
wind.
