If I Died Now
If I died now
my life would be a footprint on a pond
A fart from a butterfly
A hilarious joke
muffled by a fighter jet
If I died now
my tombstone would be misspelled
my legacy as secure
as a bus half off a cliff
"I thought we were going to die!"
the passengers wouldn't say
because they did die
If I died now
I'd be half a rhyme
An unfinished doorbell chime
But you can always knock
my life would be a footprint on a pond
A fart from a butterfly
A hilarious joke
muffled by a fighter jet
If I died now
my tombstone would be misspelled
my legacy as secure
as a bus half off a cliff
"I thought we were going to die!"
the passengers wouldn't say
because they did die
If I died now
I'd be half a rhyme
An unfinished doorbell chime
But you can always knock

Found this two year old little piece of weirdness and wondered what I was thinking.

My mind goes there also, always on some weird tangent. Sometimes, nonsensical makes sense to me.
Great write!
