A Conversation with Death
What does Death think about Life?
"You better not come already"
Once I told death,
"You can never be ready"
It's conclusion read.
...
"No helmet, or no belt,
No safety or no gear,
A little bad for your health
I'll always come knocking.
...
Maybe medications can delay,
But nothing can stop me.
Oh! There's no re-play!
So why are you waiting?
...
I can come anytime
It won't even take a while
But then why would you spend
Hours worrying about me?
...
Trust me, I am not so bad.
Don't let the rumours fool you.
But you are already dead
If you let my fear overcome you.
...
So, don't waste your time,
Just live your life.
And know your days are numbered"
Death mumbled, I wondered.

What I Would Do if I Joined Vocal Today
I'd do things a bit different if I joined Vocal today instead of February 2021. For one thing; the platform itself has changed quite a lot. Acting on input from its writer/creators many enhancements to the reporting, pay structure, engagement, and even ownership possibilities are now in place. (Yes- I am aware that not every change has been greeted with approval. This is not that: I am focusing on what I would do differently today.)
