D – 43 minutes
He woke to promise and sunlight
Reflected off yellow walls
It was a clear, cool morning
D – 31 minutes
Ever a careful eater
He breakfasted on Ezekiel bread and Brazilian coffee
In his favorite running clothes
D - 19 minutes
After a smile and a kiss
He was off on his final journey
Through familiar streets with family trees
D – 7 minutes
He thought he must’ve eaten too quickly
The growing discomfort
Escorted him on a shorter route home
D – minus one minute 43 seconds
Feet cemented by an imploding chest
He tried to rush home
Something was massively wrong
D – minus 31 seconds
He tossed his wallet
To the stopped driver
Please, call my wife
Zero hour
His heart soon flatlines
Bee-beep, bee-beep, …beep
Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
D + 7 days
At his funeral
The family wept
Friends remembered his cheerfulness
