Today

Today is the day I perceive That I am the absolute candidate For quietus. Today is the day I grade From the university of life, My thoughts cease. Today is the day I lay my head on my bolster, To turn it no more. Today is the day I accept My rest a stone. Today is the day I let a full stop be placed, After many, many commas and semicolons. Today is the day Roses, Petunias and Lillies be gathered, And placed by my head. Today is the day Flowers are going to wither, Death is mine. Today is the day The aroma thereof shan't cause me to sneeze. Toady is the day Possibilities end, For anything and everything. Today is the day I live onus and life and passion, And place my hands over my head. Today is the day I reach a dead end, Today is the day I lean, Toady is the day I take the honor of forever.
