STRING THEORY

by Marc Carver

If my life is a piece of string
I wonder where i am
 now on that piece of string.

 Am i close to the end
surely not closer to the beginning
but i guess you never know
until you see the string
and where you are on it.

I heard two people yesterday
say that they would prefer to be
 at the very end of the string.

One, is a woman and she is still alive
The man
died two weeks later.
Be careful what you say
the string may hear you
and decide to
 cut you off.
