Dead Man Paying

Death is a person, like you or I

Death is not a shadow, she lives a normal life

She washes dishes, and changes clothes

Earthly items, does she hold

She checks her clock, for lights of red

And rids the image, in her head

She sees a light

And grabs her keys

Then drives her car, to the scene

The dead is waiting

For their cab

When she arrives

Her hand they grab

They get inside

The living car

Preparing to

Become a star

She starts the cab

But drives nowhere

For they have no money

To pay their fare
