Wanted Dead or Alive

 


Should there come a time


(and it is inevitable that


time will tell) should you


not hear from me for quite


awhile, I shall either be


dead or otherwise occupied.



Death is the ultimate reason


for silence; “otherwise”


could factor in a host of


excuses for lack of contact


or no reply.



Death of course means one


no longer could care less;


otherwise occupied, well,


that may be none of your


business.



Now, don’t take offense,


I mean no disrespect.


There are just some reasons


of a personal nature which


I don’t wish to discuss.


Everyone has their own


wishes regarding those.



Be that as it may, having


not heard from you in


awhile, I wonder if you


yourself should be dead


or alive, or just gone


missing or silent for


awhile?



I suppose time will tell.


One of these days for


certain in death neither


of us shall care. So for


now I’ll say, dead or


alive, either way, I’m


sorry just in case.
