On the cutting floor.

On the cutting floor.

A Poem by andrew mitchell

We were all given an end
there was no need
to pull it
or reel it in
to play with time
was to shorten your string.
Even those with ties
saw the cutting floor.

Seems like a current string fixation! Hopefully not a fetish!

I guess your words ring true. Our time is finite and no amount of stalling or undertaking fanciful health remedies will slow our time of departure. The cutting room floor awaits us all.

A very good metaphorical write.
