The Last

If positive thoughts could halt nature
In its game to make us slip away
They would
The only other way to play is to
Raise a glass to tomorrow or yesterday
A card to promptly express thought
I thought, merited a fountain pen
I dug one out
But words newly inked became indistinct,
feathering into the paper, a disclaimer
on the back said
It was from Responsible Sources
Nature.

Again.
