Expiration Date…

Now that I know for sure,

That is my for sure fate,

I have this expiration date,

Attached to my personal zipper,

Yes it is attached to the gate of my pants…

When is it for, I have no idea, can’t see that well,

If you can see that date, would you do me a favor and tell?

Unless if it is expired, that could only mean I have done the same,

Meaning I am not writing this, not my physical body, how would I then explain?

Hey, if milk and bread and things unsaid,

Can have dates of expiration, why not my head,

I am here to say; well at least part of me is,

If I expired prior, I did not see a light, only the color of red,

What the heck do you suppose that might mean,

Maybe I was cremated starting at my feet and working up to my head…?

Maybe better yet I should up the prescription my doc gave me,

Yes you know the one, the one that is for all the pills I take, yes my meds,

Then better that I may feel, and you will know I am not so much dead…
