And Yet You Know You Won’t

Solemnly, the essay

Intoned, He does not live

But he remains. Well, true.

Living or remaining

Are the only options.

Wherever living starts

And remaining ends or

The reverse, hard to say,

Quite possibly seamless,

But a conservative

Universe keeps some form

Of everything, some say,

And everyone alive

Will someday be remains.

Therefore, you will remain.
