I see the dead pacing, reading a Time Magazine in a vinyl chair in a waiting room. The door is marked Death. The dead are waiting to die; to rest. While they wait, they get bored and bitter, so they get their friends and family to wait with them…and then it’s too late for any of them to leave. They too, are the dead waiting for the final call. All are not helpless…for it is merely the Time Magazine itself that keeps them there…it tells the lies that make truth bearable. One sage will know. That’s what I see.
What the hell sparked up the interest in this poem anyway? I wrote this almost a month ago or so and now it gets noticed? LOL! Thanks for the comments regardless! They’re all very much appreciated.
