What will you do when your teeth rot and fall out?
what will you do when the worms crawl in and never come out?
will you know what to do when your lips are bleeding
       and your hair is on fire?
will you know when the sun sets on your chest and
       pushes you into the earth?

Do you know a shade of crimson in a world filled with grey?
do you know when the heavens drop thinking pennies?
do you know the flies are laughing?
at you?
Yes. At you.
do you know the cows are secreting apple juice from their hides?
just for you.

Will you know what you had when it's gone?
