d is for sleep
written September 28, 2019
I.

Death is a reality we pretend not to know
Like an evil actor having played its part 
We wish to forgo it as it departs 
And yet soon you will sleep, your body still
The prepared for plans for futures pasts
Will not play out to your will.

​II.
Death as an incumbent of a political race
The motor cades tremble at such our breath in space
No worries now
The tallies are all in 
Eternal life
Somehow you did not win

III.
Dreams are taught and children apply
The school of neverland will hasten by-the-bye
Your dress is with pleated ardor, your shoes are buff
Your cap adjusted your cuffs rigid enough.
You want to go sailing, dream -like the heavens gentle blues
Please make way for me,
I hope to have a reservation too.

IV.
Those days of eternity creep up on you
Was it Dave who died suddenly (departed and deceased)?
For the most part you are well; you are strong and able to put a flower upon the site
As far as it matters do you really care if it is Dave or Mayble?
