Millions die from it
every day.
In bed, on the street
in a car, on their feet
while dancing
while smiling
while asleep …..
Millions die from it
every day.
On the beach, in the water
eating a peach, having a daughter
in tuxedos
in the nude
in style
in or out of the mood …..
Millions die from it
every day.
In apartment blocks
to the sound of clock tick tocks
in foreign exotic lands
even when wearing wedding bands
when having a late lunch
when drunk on punch
when mellow
when full of ire
on their birthdays
setting themselves on fire ….
Millions die from it
every day.
Residents, dog catchers
eye catchers, fetchers too.
The boy next door
one day even you.
Millions die from it
every day.
That’s life.
