Maybe nobody noticed,
And I died.
Maybe, zombie-like I go
On and on and on.Maybe when I hear, How're you?
I just say, I'm fine,
And my frozen smile is customary
Enough to get me by.
My soul? It could be bright and whole,
Sitting on a shelf.
Too polite to eat others, I cut
Meals out of myself.My wife and kids know something's wrong
But you will, I think, admit
Capricious reason can dismiss anything
Necessity demands of it.I hardly feel, I hardly think,
I don't love any cause.
I might be dead, exceptexcept
I bleed! And that alone gives me pause.
