denial

how do you
begin

to tell
someone
anyone
everyone

that
they are
dying

but the tragedy
is that
they
don't have to

at least
not yet

and
not the way
you see
coming

but

it isn't just them
that's
in danger

it's everyone
and everything
all together

and
in particular

how do you
tell yourself
that
you share
the blame

and
the same
fate
