Description Way back when
we would say to each other,
"When do you wanna die?"
"Twenty-seven."
"Twenty-seven? Twenty-seven's old!
Mr. Coppola's
twenty-seven."
"It's when a lot of rockstars die."

Oh, youthful plans of suicide
how disciplined we were then.
I hardly ever plan anything now.

The poem is awsome, but more importantly it is very true. The whole concept of time is a complete distortion that only humans seem to care abut, and even then the significance of it changes.

Wow . . . is this auto-biographical? I used to feel exactly this way . . . that whole "I hope I die before I get old" rock-star thing. I thought I was the only one.

Kannst du Deutsch sprechen?

no, I don't speak German, I knew a tiny tiny tiny bit and then I forgot all but "danke schoen," "bitte" and "ich bin mudu" (I forget how to spell it, it means 'hungry').
It is autobiographical though. thanks for the comment

Haha, what a witty little piece. I had to read it several times just to enjoy it fully. Why, I think I'll fave it as well.

haha, an excellent compliment, thank you.

do you watch Family Guy?
Cleveland: Mr. President. Oh Peter, that tickes me in a way that if Loretta were to tickle me that way, I would say, "Oh yeah, that's the stuff."

Interesting idea. I used to do that. Have an ideal death age.
Just watch your Caps and grammer. You should expand on this.
