So does old age,
cancer and disease,
drunk drivers and guns,
angry fathers and husbands,
mountain lions and bears,
global warming and smog
and somewhere
theres a teacup poodle
eating the body of his owner
who just died of a heart attack
after a vigorous night
with a japanese prostitute.

I dont concern myself with death.
least of all, my own. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 110 [topic] => 43 [informant] => Nightwolf [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

Maybe not a Poodle, but definitely a cat somewhere ... The title and sentiment reminds me of a piano piece on YouTube called “Apathetic Prison”.

Reading this doesn’t make me think of someone who is apathetic. It reads like someone bogged down by life who is reaching out. I like how you wrote it like a response to someone.

Well we all have to die of something, you/'/ve reminded me of that so cleverly here.
What will be will be, that seems to be a message ringing out clearly here, at least for me.
I don/'/t see myself succumbing to a heart attack after a vigorous night with a Japanese prostitute......but who knows what fate has in store!!!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
