Deadline 2

And do I have a deadline? Why yes, I guess I do,
I think I’ve an appointment, unless it’s “hope” not “think,”
they say we all have dates, and that is likely true,
no written proof however - just feel I’m on the brink.

My arrival is recorded, it’s date is on this form,
and other proofs as well, of them I’m not bereft,
certificates uncounted, both weird and of the norm
but nothing indicating the time that I have left.


Line count: 8
