chronicling my quarter life crisis
sounds foreboding.. but the mystery remains, what is meant by ‘are you read?’… I wonder.
might be a typo – are you ready —
this reminds me of the old Carlos Casteneda Don Juan books — death is always a shadow behind your left shoulder, just out of sight. Sometimes you can catch a glimpse of him
Is anyone ever ready for this part of our lives? Great haiku.
Ha! I will be angry with old reaper guy if he starts off on the wrong foot!
Very true.
very deep. Is anyone ever ready?
Good question.
