The Bonus Life

I had been waiting & waiting

but no train passed this way

cursed be the tracks

my effort futile

on another note,

assuming that now

I am dead

this moment on

my life is on

an extended leash

an add-on life

I hurried my way to the pub

to celebrate

gulped down a quart

oh yeah, that burns

ensured now,

that I am still alive

I might as well

earn more

love more

drink more

dream more

be merrier than

yesterday.
