Frank’s Conversation with Death
Frank enters the cold half lit room
a small table, two chairs
he waits, his appointment arrives late
they face each other
Frank explains, the illness, anger, disappointment
in his life, abilities, increasing darkness,
despite meaning
death chuckles,
points out the obvious, life stages, deterioration,
life span and past spent,
asks about his expectations,
observations, lessons, relationships
with others, nature, consciousness
Frank gets angry, wants clear answers,
direction,
death smiles, “5 years, 10 tops, “
then leaves as Frank
sits in silence
wonders what to do with his time.
