VAMPIRE COUGH

The results
are in. But
the conclusion is

awkward.
Three hundred
million people

can't be wrong—
guess we're all going
to live forever.

The catch is,
forever—doesn't mean
what it used to

anymore.
The only appreciable
definition

of eternity
left in an overstuffed
vestibule

like this is—just one
second longer
than the poor

sucker
we got stuck
standing next to.
