I laugh as I spit in Death's face
He doesn't seem to mind
I'll be his in due time
I smile as I float in the sky
Then I parachute land
Break my ankle in the sand
I grin as I race down the road
Make a dangerous turn
Smell tires burn
I whoop as I jump off the cliff
Watch jagged edges fly past
Hit the water with a splash
As a child, cheer as I leep from the swing
Hit the ground at high speed
Scraped my knees, now I bleed
I crow as I ride the wave
Get smacked to the seafloor
Swim for air, I want more
When Death finally catches up
I won't be any more dead
Than those who lived safer lives than I led
