A Death in late june.

When my dreams die

- as all dreams do -

I hope they go peacefully,

in their sleep.

When my dreams die

- as all dreams do -

I will wake up and wonder

if it's because I haven't been making my bed.

Not once in ten years.

or maybe it's because I stopped flossing

so long ago,

or because I go to sleep high

everynight

and they feel like maybe I don't need them anymore.

I can't really blame them.

When my dreams die

-as all dreams do-

I'll make my bed that morning.

And I'll floss.

When my dreams die

-as all dreams do-

I think I'll die too.

They've always seemed to have the right idea.
