he sees a movie with two beautiful starlets of the past
\nin it<\/p>\n
one died in her forties of cancer<\/p>\n
the other in her sixties of heart problems<\/p>\n
he is sad their beauty and their lives didn\u2019t last
\nexcept in their movies<\/p>\n
at least they had that<\/p>\n
he ponders how when he dies he won\u2019t have
\nany remnants of his life on earth <\/p>\n
he realizes as the years speed by
\nthe tens
\nthe hundreds
\nthe thousands
\nand more<\/p>\n
nobody will have any remnants of who they were
\nor what they did<\/p>\n
it\u2019s as if it\u2019s all illusionary
\nor just a dream
\nthis passing life
\nthis ever ending
\nimpermanence.<\/p>\n
