all our heroes
died
relatively young ..

all our heroes had
the glint of some kind
of smoke in their eyes ..

all our heroes likely
felt immortatal one drink
before the last one either early in the
morning or late at night ..

all our heroes fucked well,
ate steaks well,
fried eggs well,
wrote about it all well,
traveled well

and
died
young
for their age ..

all our heroes
are pictured
and hanging in your homes,
and
they look
at

your time
running
out,
as well ..
