Nothing works out in the end. All of us will be gone. Our name will not be remembered. The signs and lights will fade to black. The Hollywood sign will collapse of old age, like us. Poppies shrivel up, their red coats falling onto the scorched earth. Grapes transcend into wrinkly sacs of bitter wine. The way your hand slipped in mine, the fingerprints will rub away. Our heart beats slow, diminish. Our laughter evanesce, wanes as our voices descend past the Pacific ocean.
