Halley's Comet

[Achebe]

When I was seven, Halley’s comet
reappeared. It seemed fun
to camp on the terrace
till the sky sweeping stars
dropped off one by one,
but I dropped off at ten,
and I’ll be sleeping again
in 2061.

Death is always a great topic.

We're all toddlers compared to Methuselah or Precambrian rocks, as I tell my older brother...
@Brownlie - I won't feel so bad once they allow human cloning
