Constantine Pantazonis
yesterday's news
death takes the fun out of life
sometimes, i don't even shave
tortured by anxiety, waylaid
by the encroaching inevitable
death takes
the fun out of life
and there's nothing you can do about it
you can
write the iliad - the odyssey
and rail against the coming of the night
but it arrives like yesterday's news
and there's nothing you can do about
it
death takes the fun out of life
