how to live forever
by a.c.d

The universe will die one day like every universe that’s ever existed.
It will collapse in on itself like paper folding in flame —
a body decaying in an ever-present grave,
a supernova of smoke and stars
.
But I
will not.
.
Because no one ever taught the cosmos how to die properly, but I
figured it out when I was six years old and I’ve been
doing it ever since.
(The secret is not to stop)
.
The sun will die one day because all it isis ash and light, and all life is is ash and light, but I
am a corpse drowning in an ever-present ocean —
a ghost haunting in perpetual motion,
and my body has dirty water to douse its flames.
.
So I
will not.
