I never posted that poem

did I? That was rhetorical, I didn't. Here's a poem about death because we're all emo really


Beyond the button

When the square button is pushed what plays next on the screen?
Does the darkness shine on for eternity or
Does a switched off movie play on evermore
Do the righteous become blockbusters and the wicked
Is there a place where films go post pause or does the ending notice flash for all to see evermore?

When the whistle blows and the players retire
Is the game born again or does the pitch remain always barren
Do the players walk out for a rematch, for a chance to right the wrongs they left unrighted
To fix the mistakes that left them wanting before

The bell goes and pens drop to the paper
The bell goes and men retreat to the corners
Is there a retry?
A round beyond the round
A test beyond the test

The sequel is hidden from our view
Endings are just beginnings in reverse
