Life In One Day
If it's true that your life
flashes before your eyes
right as you're about to die,
my death will not be immediate.
I'm not special but
I have done some extraordinary things,
true. Just as everyone has
in their own way, perhaps.
But fitting them
into a flash sequence?
The things I have memories for
cannot be easily explained,
not even in my long-winded
roundabout storytelling problem.
What we need to do
is frame time differently
and if we pay attention,
the day begins when we're born
and ends when we die.
So novel a concept, there
never could be any other way.
