Dead Again
Dead Again is the title of a 1991 movie that I loved. Popped in my head today and thought it might a good prompt. I hope you think so, too. Poetry or prose.

Live Frequently Instead of Long

Dead again: that's what I realized, that I'm dead — again!

How many lives must I live? I was the following in previous lives:

A butcher

A baker

A candlestick maker

A Tom

A Dick

A Harry

A woman

A man

A hermaphrodite

A saint

A sinner

A loser

A winner

A mother

A father

A son

A daughter

A fetus, but I don't know what I did after that.

I am currently living a previous life during my current lifetime: I am dead in this lifetime, but I am alive from a previous life. I am living life huge and familiar, but I am most assuredly confused.

I'm living several lives at once, each skewed by a few years.

I lived a future life in a previous life, and that has only firmed up my resolve to live vicariously through my other lives, of which one is right now. I think. Ask me later.
