You should know
that death has
many hats
and no honor
and you,
believing yourself inviolate
are his target.
Death covets you
and shining bright
in your own belief system
envisaging unlimited days
memorable sunsets
and a forever future,
are a prize catch
He will approach
smiling
and tip his hat
and you respond cheerily
and too late know
you are marked
for no tomorrow
He wins again
and you go with him
as you have to.
It is so written
