THE DASH
BY L. ELLIS

I READ OF A MAN WHO STOOD TO SPEAK
AT THE FUNERAL OF A FRIEND.
HE REFERRED TO THE DATES ON HER TOMBTONE
FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE END.

HE NOTED THAT FIRST CAME THE DATE OF BIRTH
AND HE SPOKE OF THE LAST DATE WITH TEARS,
BUT HE SAID WHAT MATTERED MOST OF ALL
WAS THE DASH BETWEEN THE YEARS.

FOR THAT DASH REPRESENTS ALL THE TIME THAT
SHE HAD SPENT ALIVE ON EARTH
AND NOW ONLY THOSE THAT LOVED HER
KNOW WHAT THAT LINE IS WORTH.

FOR IT MATTERS NOT HOW MUCH WE OWN
THE CARS..THE HOUSE..THE CASH.
WHAT MATTERS IS HOW WE LIVE & LOVE
AND HOW WE SPEND THE DASH.

SO THINK ABOUT THIS LONG AND HARD,
ARE THERE THINGS YOU'D LIKE TO CHANGE?
FOR YOU NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH TIME IS LEFT,
YOU COULD BE AT "DASH MID-RANGE".

IF WE COULD JUST SLOW DOWN ENOUGH
TO CONSIDER WHAT'S TRUE AND REAL,
AND ALWAYS TRY TO UNDERSTAND
THE WAY OTHER PEOPLE FEEL.

AND BE LESS QUICK TO ANGER,
AND SHOW APPRECIATION MORE AND LOVE
THE PEOPLE IN OUR LIVES
WE'VE NEVER LOVED BEFORE.

IF WE TREAT EACH OTHER WITH RESPECT
AND MORE OFTEN WEAR A SMILE
REMEMBER THAT THIS SPECIAL DASH
MIGHT ONLY LAST A WHILE.

SO WHEN YOUR EULOGY HAS BEEN READ
WITH LIFE'S ACTION TO REHASH..
WOULD YOU BE PROUD OF THE THINGS
THEY SAY ABOUT OUR DASH?

HMMM, WHAT IS THERE TO KNOW ABOUT???  OF COURSE, MY NAME IS ERWIN.  JUST AN ORDINARY DOWN-TO-EARTH 24 Y/O GUY LIVING IN NEW YORK CITY FOR THE PAST SO SO 15 YRS.  LIFE IS AMAZING AT THE MOMENT.  RECENTLY GRADUATED [2004] FROM STONY BROOK UNIVERSITY WITH A BS IN HEALTH SCIENCE.  DURING MY STAY AT SBU, I ALSO GOT CERTIFIED AS AN EMERGENCY MEDICAL TECHNICIAN.  SO MANY DEGREES AND CERFITIFICATIONS, BUT I NEVER GET TO USE THEM.  DON'T ASK ME WHY???  CURRENTLY, I STARTED ANOTHER DEGREE.  I'M IN AN ACCELERATED NURSING PROGRAM AT SUNY DOWNSTATE MEDICAL CENTER IN BROOKLYN - A 15 MONTH NURSING PROGRAM LEADING TO ANOTHER BS.  FINALLY, IT'S THE BS I'VE BEEN WANTING EVER SINCE HIGH SCHOOL.  IT'S BEEN A VERY EXCITING YR THIS YR EVER SINCE I LEFT STONY.  I'VE MET SO MANY GREAT FRIENDS, BUT I'VE LOST QUITE A FEW TOO.  CUT THE CRAP, AND TELL US MORE ABOUT YOURSELF.  MY ATTITUDES GO BY THE RULE: "TREAT OTHERS THE WAY YOU WOULD TREAT YOURSELF".  I'M PRETTY EASY TO GET ALONG WITH.  MY FRIENDS TELL ME I'M LIKE A MAGNET B/C I ATTRACT ALL SORTS OF INDIVIDUALS: POSITVE/NEGATIVE.  I GUESS BECAUSE I'M TOO FRIENDLY AND YEAH, A GOOD LISTENER.  COME TO THINK OF IT, I'M A GOOD CANDIDATE TO BE A CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST, BUT I DON'T WANT TO TAKE THAT PATH.  WHO KNOWS???  I MIGHT TURN PSYCHO, LOL.  ONE THING THAT MY FRIENDS CAN'T STAND ABOUT ME IS MY BEING A PERFECTIONIST.  I'M VERY ORGANIZE, TOO CLEAN [GERM FREAK], AND I JUST TRY TO MAKE THINGS AS PERFECT AS I CAN EVEN THOUGH NOTHING'S REALLY PERFECT IN THIS WORLD.  PERFECTIONIST IS A SICK BEHAVIOR.  ONE THING THAT I GO BY IN LIFE IS HONESTY.  IT'S PERHAPS THE BEST POLICY THAT'S OUT THERE.  I LIKE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE HONEST.  ABOUT MY NATIONALITY - I'M 100% FILIPINO [FILIPINA FOR A LADY].  YOU CAN EITHER CALL ME A FLIP OR PINOY, SLANG FOR FILIPINO.  I LIVE LIFE NON-TRADITIONAL, MEANING I DON'T CARRY ANY FILIPINO BELIEFS, NOR DO I PRACTICE MY CULTURE.  IT'S SAD TO KNOW THAT MY CULTURE IS FADING.  OF ALL THESE NONSENSE, I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I'M A VERY RELIGIOUS INDIVIDUAL.  I PRACTICE IT WEEKLY, NOT DAILY.
