Play Death

Let’s play hangman, let's play Russian roulette, play chicken with an 18-wheeler play the days away with a dare and a do. Is not life a tightrope whether we like it or not? Sometimes you are a free climber on an impossible cliff face you show the way, sometimes you make the obituaries. It's a game nothing more, is it dangerous, is it exhilarating, is it worth it? A game has to play, it's nothing real or lasting, we all get to go home leaving the toys behind us. The smoking gun, the hanging man, the blazing crash on a scorching highway, toss the coin play death for one more day.
