you must be far removed
from the world of life and death
to think about
immortality
there’s a lot we don’t know
about immortality
but someone’s going to try
when it does arrive
it will be too late
those who should have lived forever
will have died, and with them, the blesséd
past that most deserves
to live again and again
all of its limitless possibilities
before the making of enough
money to discover immortality
now, laments begun
the end of adventure over
long ago
the curse the gods
visited upon mortals
who would do anything
that the pain of immortality
disappear
because gods are invulnerable
humans are not
immortality should be
thought of as a disease
maybe a tragic flaw
no amount of time can heal
the only cure, an incapacity
to feel pain
surely someone will try
to be yourself
we refine ourselves
add to ourselves
through acts of kindness
help others
share love
define ourselves
through sorrows
our errors
our foolishness
