Poem: Mortality and Invincibility

Institutions crumbling -
Pillars of stability,
causing me
to question,
my very own
mortality.
Waking me up
from my suburban
apathy -
Comfortable 
and comatose.
Time 
runs out
and no one
lives forever.
The invincibility 
of youth -
A legend;
A myth.
Folklore
of the nubile
and viral.
