We Do Not Know

By: E

Summary: Emo flash poetry about how life is fleeting.

we do not know 

we are living 

the final memories of a friendship until we realize 

we can’t remember the last time we talked. 

we do not know 

we are living 

the final moments of our parents’ youth until we realize 

their grey strands have grown uncountable. 

we do not know 

we are living 

the final chapter of our lives 

until we realize 

there are no more words 

to say–

. . .

I’m E. E for Extreme procrastinator because I wrote this poem 10 minutes before the end of the new year, thinking it would be fitting for the theme “Epilogue” but that’s just procrastinating. Happy new year everyone.
