Epitaph For A Working Man
2023 by Michael S. Walker
Bing Crosby said
That was a
Good game of golf
Let's go
Get a Coke
And then
He died …
As good an epitaph
As any
A day in the sun
With friends
A day with laughter
And refreshment.
I do not think
My own
Epitaph
Will be so
Light-hearted
More like
"I can't lift
Any more
Of these
Boxes"
Or
"Stop yelling at me
I am doing
My best"
Or today
This hidden poem
An unblemished blue sky
Far far away
From my life-long
Wage
