If in my sleep tonight
I die
Or otherwise am unable to awake,
Please prepare the table and
Pull the chair in drowsy haze,
Please pour the milk
Into the bowl
After the sprinkled flakes,
And grab a metal spoon
To lose yourself in tepid taste,
Please view my phone
The memes by and by
The effort to not wither away,
Put on my clothes
And wash our face
Leave at minute mark
In tempered haste,
Case by case, a calm rush,
Upon the sidewalks walked,
And wait at the station,
Asking why,
As the cars and trains pass us by
