Termnal

by George Hoerner

my brow rests
on life’s horizon
not looking
just realizing
it has always
been there

oh if the past
were a theater stage
and i could rearrange
the scenes and acts
while the curtain rests

hung in front of
those participating
what could i change
that would a
difference make
to those watching

waiting for
my suicide
which will
never happen

unless my
condition becomes
terminal

but life is

life is indeed terminal, as a bus departing from its starting gate knows all too well when it arrives at its terminal which is signal for the passengers, to get off for parts unknown, which are parts we know all too well, though we fail so to admit.
