Seven Things

Seven Things I Have Not Done As if Time was a series of outlines to be filled with colour Each hue a different life value Who comes up with these things? Specious Norms and Social Media Seductively Sings of Seven Things... I'd never thought; Was too busy staring over the rim of the abyss Which, of course, was staring back Laughing at the things I lack Always. With the staring. It stared before I breathed my first and will stare at the place where I was After I have breathed my last... And Fact Fluidity... But. Enough of this grim melancholy Let me see... Seven Things I Have Not Done I cannot even think of one.
