Despite potential for quirkiness, you could actually pull off an exponentially more serious poem if you did take one of those suggestions. It would strike at the very heart of human experience as we question our own mortality and its purpose. I feel certain I've read examples... but right off hand, I can't think of them, and it's way too much bother to write all this shit and THEN go back and do research before pushing 'Post'--and having to log in again, because it took more than seven minutes. Nevertheless, I will try to look one up as an example.
