The desk was a bit untidy,
A coffee spill still not dry;
A half-eaten glazed doughnut—
The computer waiting on stand-by.
Some personal things in plain view:
Appointments waiting on this day,
Sticky notes with scribbled memos,
Tickets for a planned getaway.
Some were staring in disbelief.
Medical staff did analyze;
It appears he just stopped breathing,
Took everyone by surprise.
