endings

i. an enlightened end
it just ended... quietly
not with a bang
nor a whimper
that i ever heard
just a fade awaying
a gentle unraveling
wisped gently to 
the entropics

ii. a bit grittier finish
our thirty seconds
of fame or love
or whatever the fuck it was
just done gone
like a shawshanked
fart in the wind

iii. dylanesque
the way of the world
the code of life 
"don't think twice, it's alright..."
