Death As A Choice As Well As A Valentine

In a few seconds
we will die and
in a few more seconds
we will be born again
at least it will seem
that way pre-consciously
at two an alligator
will drag our body
back to its lair
at nine leukemia
at fifteen drowning
at twenty-one drunk driving
at thirty-five suicide
at forty-eight illuminations
followed by death by insomnia
it only takes nineteen days
we have carefully designed
an evolution of suffering
cruelty and fear
so in a few more seconds
hypothetically speaking
we could reverse it all
