It’s strange how everywhere<\/p>\n
I turn my head these days<\/p>\n
I see only people dying.<\/p>\n
Each page flip<\/p>\n
Each channel change<\/p>\n
Each item in my news feed<\/p>\n
brings a death notice<\/p>\n
and a reminder<\/p>\n
that I’m next.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It’s like when you finally<\/p>\n
get the cash together<\/p>\n
and drive off the lot<\/p>\n
your shiny new sedan<\/p>\n
and by the time you get<\/p>\n
the 10 blocks home<\/p>\n
you’ve seen 3 others just like it<\/p>\n
and all you can do<\/p>\n
all you can ever do<\/p>\n
is just sit back and<\/p>\n
enjoy the ride<\/p>\n
because you ain’t going far.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
