Embarrass Poem by Mike Finley

Embarrass



Forty minutes I stand in the reception line.
Finally I reach the newly widowed man,
standing by Olive's open coffin,
and I will remember my next words forever.
'Hey Vern, good to see you.'




(1980)

Lol this is very cute... the things we say. Truth is sometimes we don't take the time to see one another until someone dies.
