Keep Death on Its Toes

going 95mph on I-95,
daring death to cut me in half...

once you've been through
all the shit I have been through,
you know that death 
ain't the scariest thing. 

the most terrifying thing 
is getting it all wrong.

I envy those know-it-alls,
whose default station in life
is being right and sure,
unaware that death is coming.

so tempting it has become
a sure-shot reminder that life is for living.
