slowly life unfolds
like the sand of an hourglass
bead by bead, slowly descending
transcending the present into the past;
slowly she drifts like a
stiff petrified log
floating overseas
to a far away country
where time is limitless
and life is eternal;
slowly falling to shadows
gradually burning like Babel,
suicidal tendencies, herbal remedies
but government claims narcotics the enemy,
eyelids low, feels so friendly;
slowly awaiting the reaper,
nothing but darkness approaches,
shiny blade glistening by the pale moon's light,
guillotine sharp, finished in one slice...
