How do you get out of a subtle trap?
The normal rules have never once applied
to anyone, except the dumbest sap
who has no choice but to stay on the ride.
Those who object are actually fools,
with sluggish minds, lacking the mental tools.
Then there’s the pain, the force you can’t escape
unless upon the last long downhill road,
the one you exit with your mouth agape.
The one where everybody knows the code.
There’s no evading of the ultimate,
the day has faded , and it is now late.
No matter how much you feel that you’re still strong
your body demonstrates with all the pain
your body held in silence for so long
you had forgotten, until the last strain;
and then you that each breath is the last:
Your body is decaying much too fast.
The message has arrived, and it is clear:
All that is left you is a little air.
