The Way I Go

 

It will be a sneeze

the way I go –

there will be six
maybe seven in a row –

A disruptive and obnoxious

scene,

and I’ll not catch my breath

in between –

No heroics and no fanfare

just sneeze upon sneeze

filling the air –

For such a life

I believe well lived –

I’ll not be remembered

for the charity gived

just a blustery end

before what comes next-

an image of me

behind a Kleenex.
