There are no bystanders

A chalkboard with a list of "things to do before I die" filled in by random people.

No witnesses
No home team
Cheerleaders
Onlookers
Rubberneckers
Passive participants
NPCโ€™s
Walk on roles
Or audience
(even if youโ€™ve already given up)

We are all
In the lead role
On the main stage
In the same game
There is no
Crowd control
No referee
No rules
(save one)

Live well

Well enough
To die well, anyways

Let me know what you think
