immortality

maybe in another life we might have lived forever 
some infinity gene having mutated inside us 
stunting the aging process 
no degradation 
forever young 

i think of all the ambulances 
that have wailed up and down the main street 
with their ear piercing regularity 
tolling someone's distress 
someone's expiration maybe 

a lifetime 
just isn't enough 

it is a strange thing now 
to hear the sirens sounding from the avenue 

knowing they are for you
