Sound file: (P.B. Warrington reads “Anticipation”)

Thinking about forever after my time here on earth
Birthdays—canards like daylight savings time, trying to save ephemeral light
But it is nice to have days, more time with which to do
It is not yearning for this life to never end
Stretch it however far it needs to, to see why, perhaps make sense in the end, 
maybe only at the end
Someone asks how I am? I have another day, so I'm good. 
That’s easy to forget most times, especially in the checkout line
