from the ABC set Parson Thru II

How dare they
grow old and die?

Where does that
leave me?

Feel like
I'm sliding
through the gut
of a worm.

Thanks jolono. The page had barely refreshed!

Very powerful indeed...less being more.

Thanks Tina. Spurred by the demise of Donna. State of Independence on 12".

This (quite strangely) made me laugh. I really like the point of view you take as well as the last stanza's cryptic message.

Where would we be without tumour? Glad it made you laugh. :-) I used to eat worms when I was very young, so I suppose this brings a balance. Thanks for commenting.
