Timers

Cheating death a time or two,
Develops a few things:
An acute sense of what matters,
An understanding life is short,
And a very low tolerance for bullshit

Age does not help this;
It makes it worse
Understanding you’re wasting your time,
Is a damn good inspiration,
For immediate change

But there are choices,
Damn choices and realities,
That also, cannot be denied
Like how to continue,
Eating and living indoors

We need individual timers.
If you knew our last days,
Would it be easier?
20 years? You have time
20 months? Not so much

Would your decisions change?
How are they handled now?
How well can you balance bullshit and reality,
Without knowing?
This, is one secret to living life well…
