Being Dead, The Extra-Definitions Poem by Marcel Aouizerate

1/ When you turn forty you learn that you have been adopted. By everyone. Including your wife and your kids
2/ You loose key abilities, such as the ability to feel guilt and shame, when you are hungry
3/ There is something you wanted to say for years and it still is not quite the right time
4/ Saying hello becomes either an effort for you or a request from you
5/ You are not tired, you are bored
6/ Probabilities mean nothing anymore, everything happens so much
7/ Most people make sense
8/ Your mother is dead, your father is dead, you don't feel well
9/ You start having Alzheimer. You start having Alzheimer
10/ Someone finds a cure for AIDS, you don't have it.
