Did you wear your life out;
  did you use it all up
  —what are you saving it for

We’re all running headlong
  toward a hole in the ground
   —that the past and future insure

Are you stuck on tomorrow
  lost in wishes of things
  —hoping there’s still more to come

Will your headstone bring sorrow
  to those mourning your loss
  —inscribing what never got done

(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2018)
