Every Moment Alive
Entropy thrives
“As soon as you’re born
You are dying. ”
– Iron Maiden
Without even trying
From your first
Non-liquid breath
Up until even
After your death
Molecules go
About their day
Restoring or
Disintegrating
In every way
What are you to do
Except experience
Each moment, too
It is harder
Than it sounds
Like a boxing match
With infinite rounds
Consider
That life goes on infinitely
While occurring instantly
Each moment and thought
Action and consequence
Happening simultaneously
Yet, somehow, following
Time’s unstoppable arrow
Would that be a bitter pill
That’s hard to swallow or
A reasonable answer to
The age-old question
Why are we here?
To experience each
Infinite experience
“Just an observation,
Maybe I need
Different glasses.”
– Angelo Devlin
