why do you wake up in the morning?
I want to remember that intense feeling
I experienced, as I lived my life.
Naked, honest, and real experience
is incomparable to anything formal.
I often forget how close and frequent death is.
fear of it, would rather resemble spiritual death.
live today as if it’s your last, and you’ll live.
run to save your life, and you’re already dead.
