Did I Die (and somebody forget to tell me)?
by Joan SerratelliDid I die
and someone forget
to tell me?
I don't understand
why people have
not noticed the changes
I've been through lately
I still look the same
(except for the cigarette
that has been permantly
affixed to my mouth
for the past 30 years
has now vanished- it's gone)
Why has nobody noticed?
There's no explaination
except for the one
given above:
I must be dead
and somebody has yet
to tell me 04/23/2006 Author's Note: Absolutely no-one has noticed that I've quit smoking- not even my sister who has been here since yesterday....hmmmm...

| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 04/23/06 at 04:35 PM I really like the theme of this poem - really makes us question what people see when they look at us, and what we think they see or should see. Congrats on quitting smoking!!! If your sister is a smoker, she may not even be aware. This will make a huge difference in your life, even if it doesn't in hers. |
