Toast

Kettle's boiling,

Milk's spoiling,

Toast's burning,

Voices raising,

Door's slamming,

Sun's rising,

Car's failing

People running,

Shops opening,

Lighter's lighting,

Cigarette's smoking,

Started coughing,

The end's nearing,

Vision darkening,

Pupils dilating,

Brain's starving.

Casket dropping,

Widow's mourning.

Apologising.

Regretting.

Grieving.

Weeping.

Last breakfast of the morning,

Toast burning,

Wife shouting,

Not knowing,

He's slowly dying.
