When I see life yonder
eagerly rushing by,
I stop and think - why not
smell the roses? A whiff sent me
running / away from black death / the uncertainty of the plague / writ large on my face
Oh Hero come save me / the needle responds / donning his plastic armour / which shall deliver the fortuned / from this life sublime / that doesn't deserve a bit / and still gets so much / and all for a rose / I did not love.
