the living have tomorrow,
                          the dead, forever...
    how can forever lodge
itself into a tomorrow,
  and compensate the living
with the mysteries
guarded by the dead,
who attribute the sun-set
and yesterday
  toward the same -
that the living attribute
  concerns for,
               regarding tomorrow?
how can the living grasp
yesterday in all its entirety,
  so that the dead
might even glimps a nano-
  particle of tomarrow?
i find that the living are more eager
to give unrest to the dead,
than the dead are ever prone
   to usurp the theatre of life...
from diverging from its straight
path of succession:
carpe diem, diem mort oblitus
(seize the day, the day death forgot).
