Slew

Because I wouldn't stop for Death

He saw, and stopped for me--

The Carnage was for just ourselves--

Our immortality.

We slowly drove--As buddies now

Since I had put away

My thoughts that I would have to live

Without Celebrity.

We passed the School, where Children strove

and found a place to park.

And Death and I walked, chewing gum,

into that hallowed Ark.

Since then--it’s Centuries, it seems

Yet shorter than the Day

since Me and Death, my sidekick

had our cinematic play.

And now, instead of only Me (Death, only number two)

A Groundswelling has buried me

Underneath this Slew,

This Evermore of I did it too's,

These flashes in the pan.

And Death? That asshole promised Me

I’d be the only Man.

The Only till Eternity

for Being such a Man.
