Dying
An old man asked me why I smoke.
I replied "We're all dying."
He said "You're increasing the speed."
I smiled and said "I'm trying."
We're all dying with every breath
No sense in sweating when or how
It's inevitable. You can't avoid death
So I kneel down and bow
I surrender.
I give up.
You win, Universe.
Just take me.
This was based on an actual conversation I had with an old man tonight while I was having a cigarette outside my work.
