Built In

when we’re
out of ideas

we’re dead

most of our lives
are spent

being
dead

or not
yet born

spending
time

in vague
regret

or vague
hope

that
something

will
come along

to make us
feel

connected
wanted
loved

waiting for
completion

when it is already
built in

death built in
to life

we’re dead

before we begin
