~
on the first visit it’s
possible to negotiate
a little, more of a
forewarning to raise
awareness, give you time
to get things in order,
wake you up, talk about
timescales, plan ahead,
the next time she comes,
it’s all in the detail,
what when where how,
a thorough briefing
no stone unturned,
then it’s the big day,
most people dislike the
sudden ones most,
although it won’t be a
surprise for you, and
although it’s a shame
you can’t tell them, please
don’t try to leave a note
trust me, it will drive
them mad for the rest
of their days,
when the time comes
for you, it will actually
be a celebration of sorts
a bit of an adventure,
and that last big question
in life that you’ll finally,
be able to lay to rest
