If you were old and headed
For where everyone old is
Certain to arrive not in any
particular order and living
In a street like this where
The elderly with offspring
All settled abroad have
Settled for their last years
The arrival of ambulances
To carry off someone who
Had a fall in brahma muhurtam
Is not very uncommon and
Sends your heart racing with
Thoughts of that dreaded rendezvous
And what comes thereafter or doesn't ---
Will you wake up or never wake up
From this dream you did not choose?
