you live
then you don't
that's it
the big issues of our times
look big when you're alive
but are nothing once you go
there are a million big issues you never experienced
or lived through
and there will be millions more
long after you are a forgotten name
maybe still engraved somewhere in a cemetery
for descendants to search for and find
as part of a genealogical outing
but Brexit
Trump
Putin
Scottish independence
these things are but distractions
that prevent a person living
look, it's autumn
the vines are turning from rich green
to soft yellow
and delicate shades of peach
