Why outrun
what you've already left behind
even if it is
only for this moment
brief and one off
as it may be
still you are the one
who has
outlived
In a race whose finishing line
you can't see
Yet have her defeated
again and again
before reaching it
Even if only for a moment
and by only a moment
you have kept her at bay,
may be for another day
This win
even if it were to be
your last
you've embraced yet again
immortality that is
not all that evasive afterall
Fill your lungs puny
with the cosmos infinite
there is no scope here,
this moment
for anything but life
To live yet again
outdoing, outrunning,
outsmarting her
without even trying
A lousy steed indeed
is death.
