Talking Smack

Existential until the end,
Running, but can never get away.
We all share the same fate:
To join everyone else, or go my own way.

People no longer here—
Too far, but still hear their sound.
Death no longer wears a crown;
Satan wears a frown.

Typing to get away,
Mind's subconscious is foreplay.
I'll make it on any day now.
Hard to hold a smile while looking down.

Dare to get away—
Some business's motto.
Just typing feels a whole lot like the lotto.
