lowered flags
you can’t mourn about the death of a stranger but
you can learn and realize how fragile life is.
you will learn that we are here one moment
and the next we are gone,
it was all good a year ago people will say.
either way life is not lost by dying;
life is lost minute by minute,
day by dragging day,
in all the thousand small uncaring ways.
so attack life!
..it’s going to kill you anyway.
RIP Rufus.
