Overdue


Paid some bills today—cable, gas and co-pay with the VA.

Always on time, never late...I roll that way.


Got to thinking, what happens if I die and the bills come

due and are not paid?


Late fees are assessed and still bills remain unpaid. Eventually,

notices are mailed out threatening services will be discontinued.


And of course, unbeknownst to them, I am dead and gone,

and will never return or pay bills ever again.


Am I worried or concerned? Hell no! Serves those utilities right.

Shouldn’t have counted on me being on time, everytime.


The end of everything that is and ever was comes with certainty

eventually. The cell phone on the end table rings, and no one answers.
