you only live once, unless you're Hindu, of course

you've heard people saying
things like this
all your life.
you only live once,
you can't take it with you,
enjoy what time 
you have left.
live in the now.
usually it's a car salesman,
or a travel agent
saying this to you
as you stare
at the little red sports car
in the showroom.
pointing his finger
at which line to sign.
or maybe it's
the travel gal opening
the cruise
brochure, showing pictures
of an ocean,
lobsters and wine,
telling you. 
you're not
getting any younger,
it's time.
