I Know Death

"Hah! I know death."

We talked last week

and thats why I race at top speed

in and out of traffic I weve,

for today, is not the day....

he calls to me.

Just cause I may know death

doesn't mean we're friends,

he feeds me enough of the lies

for fun in life not to suspend,

and I'll eat whatever I want

until that end.

I recall a few words death said to me,

"It's not living unless it's done free."

Twenty minutes later....

with red eyes, mind at ease

I shook my agreeing head,

"Man.....death I know what you mean."

Before too long 

we go without conversation

and the cheating surely

has karma caught 

up to me,

I willfully close my eyes

and thank gracious time

for just one

last dream.....
