A funeral formal
Begins
Car doors slam
Breathless fat uncles clamor
I hear one measure coffers
Another rate stock markets
Heels click by
I see women fashion slut walk
Dragging false sentimental feet
Then a hustle of garlands
Flowers counted by colour
Irate boards declare the offer
I see amidst it all
Nervous locked fresh widow
Anxiety worn novel orphans
A dead man waiting
For a little peace
Ashes at last
nobody rates ashes
I envy his luxury
His escapade.
