Dead Sure About Life
Listen to poem:
Dead Sure About life
David J Walker
I am dead sure that
The only thing
to write about on the
Otherside
is life
What is there to talk about
That would compare to
perfection
What is there to anticipate in an eternity
that hasn’t already happened
With infinite tomorrows
How good can I feel with
unjuxtaposed sorrows
In a room with stained glass windows
That never open
My halo
Although adjustable
Never seems to fit the way it should
Mother says not to complain
I will get used to it
Father says he finally threw his away
And Nobody noticed
What is there to write about except life
And how often we failed at it
