Done Deal

They said it was a done deal. There’s nothing he can do.
How long I said?  Very soon they said.
But, isn’t that our sentence too?
We live our lives as in a dream where no one ever dies,
haunted by the certainty of our very own demise.
They say it is a done deal.  There's nothing I can do.
How long I said?  Who knows they said?
