Pears

Perfection, youth and first places
everything else must give way
how many first places can there be?
Can we all be
first
who will stay 
forever young
avoid the inevitable


Decay, corruption and death
you know what is
we know that
the time of miracles is not over
if we are not too busy to come first
right there
where life stinks, aches and comes too late
with all that beams

Steen Nesdam
