A QUESTION
I asked if I got sick and died, would youWith my black funeral go walking too,If you’d stand close to hear them talk or prayWhile I’m let down in that steep bank of clay.And, No, you said, for if you saw a crewOf living idiots pressing round that newOak coffin—they alive, I dead beneathThat board—you’d rave and rend them with your teeth.
