if i should die today (A POEM)

If i should die today

If I should die today
Having Become
Redundant

Would it even matter
In the Vast scheme of Things
in the Bangings of
This Universe

Or in your crowded Word
Your Archaically Overstuffed
Easy chair of a life
Where there is Little Room
For Edgewise Thinking

Perhaps I'm just fey
Or is it Fay
Seduced by the Fire
Dancing on the Flames
Begging for Recognition
Or just to Explain
That I am

Yes I am wordy
Even perhaps Verbose
Yes I am Extreme
The calamity of a Kaleidoscope
The Colourfully enigmatic
Images in the Mirrors
(when in Truth, it's all
A Hoax)

If I should die today
Would you remember me
In 25 yrs, your life is
Not the same
If I should die today
Would it even Matter
Having worn out my
Faustiness
A Lust for Significance
Would that I just
Dissipate into Matter
