Live Now
Don’t death threat me,
I’m already a gonner,
I am passed myself,
I left years ago,
I got no drama now.
Death has wormed itself
into your words.
Tell me,
just who is alive
in that brain of yours?
Does your heart dance
or are you still loitering
in that coffin you built
for other’s?
I’m the person that came out
of a dead person
death is daily,
it’s moment to moment.
Don’t dare death -
come out of it.
Move to your own
place;
I no longer rent mine,
I own it.
I opened my own door
why do you keep banging on yours?
