DOT

Paul Bress, UK

See that dot?


That's you, that is.



That dot starts


On a particular day, a particular month, a particular year.



And that dot ends



On a particular day, a particular month, a particular year.



There are dots all over the place

Some you may even see

Cos you happen to be alive

At the same time
But other dots

End before you start

Or start after you've ended

You'll never see these dots

'cept on a screen

Or in your mind



It's not much of a life, being a dot

So better make the most of it

Be as dotty as you can

Feel what it's like to be a dot

Accept the bits you don't like so much

Enjoy the bits you prefer

Cos tho that dot will end some time

You don't know when

Your last day as a dot

Will be
