Death Was In A Cheerful Mood
An allegory of sorts

Death got off
to a great
start
on this young,
fresh-faced
2025
laughing at
long-suffering
Life
with his little
worries and
cares
Death had
nothing to
lose
as she was
already
dead
not even boredom
seemed to
upset her
she did what she
wanted when
she wanted
which this morning
meant spying
on Life —
giggling at his
pathetic
gestures
his medical concerns
and his financial
foibles
his stupid vanities
and his precious
words
