Monster

And I remember things that happened five ears ago like yesterday

And I fear that life is speeding by

That life is racing and I can’t control it

And then it’s going to be over

And I am going to be dust

And everyone I know will be dust

And we will become a thin dust

Rimming the Earth

Scattered on tables

And picked up by rags

And tossed in the wash

And whisked down the drains

And swept into the ocean

Or clogging up pipes

And no one will even know it’s me

Or who I am

Or what I did

Not even showing up on the radar of life

And it’s worthless worry

But it exists

With or without acknowledgment.
