Just Passing Time

You said you are just passing time

Between now and death

and

I am too

Just passing time

between now and death

yet

I would rather stretch my legs a little

before death comes

to end my possibilities

and breathe in a few full lungs of fresh air

before death comes

to take my responsibilities

and enjoy a little loving

before death comes

to steal my faculties

and share the embrace of friendship

before death comes

and takes my opportunities

and

it doesn't mean anything

it never did

and

it doesn't need to now

while we are passing our time

between this-now and that-now
