Joe Black
In the movie Meet Joe Black
Death, as played by Brad Pitt,
Falls in love with the daughter
Of the older man he came to fetch.
It isn’t as ridiculous as it seems.
Life is always pretending to be
Someone new every single day.
My clinic, in fact, was full of the living
And there were a few moments—
Old Mrs. Liebling’s comfort dog
Putting his paw on my knee
While I rubbed his scruff—
When life became me.
