ACCIDENTAL DEATH OF A CELEBRITY (1997)


The future which we had each

Thought up for you

Never came to be--

How life would have--

Should have(?)

Turned out for you

Remained ever unknown to me.

Your life was not ours to order

And perhaps also

Was not yours.

    Well isn't this question asked by each one of us so very often to ourselves? A lot of what happens to us or even what we eventually end up doing is beyond our control...so the question remains...!

    Recently, three people I have known, in their 20s and 30s, just left us without any warning. So, more than ever, I appreciate what you put down in words.
