I joined the race at birth
first tooth, first steps,
first tooth, first steps,
how do I compare
to all the rest?
Who got the best grades in school
and who got accepted to the best schools?
Then who got the best job,
the best spouse, the best address?
Who looks the best after 55?
Who lives the longest?
Towards the end I finally realize
none of it matters.
I could have walked
I could have walked
a little slower
and still arrive in time to die
like all the rest.
