keep them guessing…

keep them guessing

as he lie
dying
the phone rang
taking the call
he found
a distant
family member
on
the line
who asked
how he was doing
he said
everything’s going as planned
hung up
and
died with 
a broad smile
on
his face
having
left them
disappointed
about
his
successful
plans

 

 

One thought on “keep them guessing…

  1. This was perfect for my day and my current mental gymnastics of dealing with my husband’s (and my own) aging body. I would like to die “as planned” (dying together, holding hands in bed, the day that our money runs out.) Now I am adding, ‘laughing together.”
