And Soon We Will Be Leaving Somewhere Poem by RIC BASTASA

the guy
has a heart problem
and when he knew
that
he got so depressed
and would not
want to eat
and even does not want
to breathe

i assured him
however that
it is all in the mind
and if he has it
he can do nothing about it
anyway
so why not just take it
for granted?

and we decided to
spend our days lightly
we laugh
a little and drink a little
and talk
much about those funny
stories on earth

now the guy is happy
we pretend we have no disease
and we believe
about the life hereafter
we are strangers here
and soon we will be leaving
somewhere
