Staying Alive : Thanksgiving Poetry

written by Poet : EC


Alive
all day actually
even at night
what a miracle
although not quite unexpected
more like "of course, only other people die"

Maybe I do take it too much for granted
sleep may prevail
one day it will, they tell me
how would I know?
How would I remember to lie still
not breathe
not laugh
not doing the living thing of loving?
To lie dead and love, what a waste
all in all what a waste to die
