Challenge
How do you perceive this phrase, "Don't die wondering"?
I prefer your prompt to be a bit straight-forward - not too metaphoric but also not too plain and obvious. Any form of writing is accepted, and as always, the winner receives an imaginary resonation trophy! For those who do not know what that means, a resonation trophy is an award where a selected winner has a prompt that resonates with my feelings the most. The winner is determined by me!

Let's not die, wondering
what's Life-Like...
our mind betraying
its everlingering
preoccupation
with the
curtain
belying
we'd never
breathed deep
to pretend and
let it go again
in a minute
in a minute
always preparing
for the toss i n g
off of affaires...
the starched
tuxedo the
netted bonnet
closing in
closing in
wit fist-full,
wist two-feet's
distance whilst
looking on out
at the when
at the when
from the balm
or the ovens,
or the pit
or whatever
the most recent
version
our living
deeds and
testaments
have specified...
in false nows
for divvying up
the present
the present
long
before
the limo
or ambulance
or hearse
arrive...
