Waiting for the Biopsy Results
Eventually, the body
gives out…
We all realize this
when mortality is explained
to us as children…
The day of our birth is
a beginning of our death sentence…
Is it morbid to drive
past graveyards during
the weekend?
Knowing that I might be
joining them…
Sooner than later.
I guess every writer
worth his weight in
Spam has commented
about the end sometime during
his or her jottings…
The fear of what lies beyond…
Well, the old saying—it is
what it is rings true once in a while…
I will be finding out.
Soon enough.
