for when i no longer exist

 for when i no longer exist 

is death waiting there somewhere out there in time

or does it arrive when you end

that there is no death waiting out there in time

but it is the unraveling travelling of time

(itself a concept of the living)

that death (not surprisingly) resides in the act of living

that your end places you at that time

the time of another’s foreboding

of course we see it as being outside 

out there waiting for the queue to

reach its time

but all the time - look out! is inside you

it is creeping up on you on tip toe

and then it is too late i was going to say 

but YOU have to say that don’t you

for i no longer exist
