Instantaneous

Death would have been instantaneous He said most confidently, But one man’s instantaneous could be Another’s experience of infinity. Could that transformation from The state of life to that of death Really be as transient as The gap from breath to breath. On a different timescale, each second Could be asa thousand years of pain, Extending to eternity those few Split seconds that remain. It's always said as a comfort But none of the living can know The duration of instantaneous When it's the time of a being to go.
