Mercury

Poems 2005

Mercury's a speed demon on
an ego trip.
Young and stupid with only the eyes of heaven to
bring him back down - 
eventually, of course.

Instant gratification isn't fast enough.
Maybe we could slow this down a bit.

Here we go, just a little further now.
After all, this is all we have to live for.
Perhaps life really is to short, as
people seem to say.  In the end wouldn't we all rather die
young then grow into skeletons anyway?
