Just how long must one decay. Before enlightment knocks. There must be a more sensible way. Than merely staring at a sign. "Under Construction". Filling up the time with duplicates. Hanging them to corresponding sites. One for growing up. A few for responsibilties. Or just one to cover life In general. Would it seem too ironic not to even finish the sign.. Or maybe just pesimism. There are just too many negative adjectives to choose from. With hands stained red from paint and blood. One would be hard pressed to touch anything more. Perhaps this is epifany in the making. But to reach out to turn the pages Means the story has yet to conclude. So does remaining immobile. Strip away existence. Or just stall the darkness a bit more.. Either way. The protagonist still draws breathe. It is just a matter of how many more pages. Until the last is drawn.
