The Question of Survival
When walking back home from the campus
One day, a professor of philosophy
(who adopted the linguistic analysis approach),
Was deep in thought as he reflected on
What meaning could be attached to the words:
“LIFE AFTER DEATH.”
He became so engrossed in thought, in fact,
That he lost contact with the outside world
And he didn’t notice the lights
At the crossing, whether red or green,
Nor did he hear the screech of brakes.
Next moment – if that’s the word – he
If we allow the use of this pronoun here
- found the answer he was looking for – if in fact he did.
