Mortal Foil

Mortal Foil

Should the 
tendency of your body  
to stay at rest

begin to perplex?

No force is more 
formidable against an
inconvenient recalcitrance   
than to realize 

your deadline!

drawn at 
The End of 
your time to be alive –
the mortal’s plight!
inevitable – uneditable

beautifully timed
by a secret surprise >>

the length of your life!

Considering it 
will be any day (bye, now!)
breaks the laws of motion
forces mass to gain momentum 
and seals your fate with 
a big fat kiss (ha! thy sting)

if only you promise  
to spend every single day  
doing exactly 

what you wish.
