Existential Risks in a World of Immortals

1
No lines rewriting the story
of your face is a risk I wouldn’t take.

2
How would your story change if your body didn’t?

3
I wouldn’t know the soft way you smile
in the days before you die.

4
Hero, if there were no risk of death,
would the prize mean as much?

5
Enough empty promises!
Eternal Life would finally call Eternal Love’s bluff.
