Death News
I've always escaped Death's path.
I am always away when Death comes by.
Such then is the surprise:
In my family of maddeningly frequent deaths,
I have never been in it's proximity,
I haven't embraced a dying loved body.
Death has always come as distant news to me.
From afar, I've suffered Death's routine agony.
And there is no struggle with reported news;
Just as no one defeats the air by refusing to breathe.
