I Died

Fell in a bowl of soup my head hangs wet and soggy spoon on the floor The coroner removes my head and stares at the microwave......

That is so funny. And subtly expressed. I wonder what would have happened if the microwave had swallowed the coroner ...

Often how we die is from what we eat. But there are so many ways to read this poem. What do you mean? What are you conveying?

Chilling thoughts, Arthur. Perhaps recollections from a disturbing dream? The image you describe is powerful, my friend. Hugs, Carolyn
