Time to Die
Wear a wristwatch, for you may die in your sleep,
a timepiece, one with an alarm you can set.
Best not to wake up dead still locked into that last dream,
for sleep is just death pretending to be coy.
Try to dream of being at least partially alive,
aware enough to double-check.
if death is asleep or not.
