Two Dot Dot
The curious clue was written with the last ounce of her strength
They found her lying in her own Hershey candy bar wrapper mess
Choked to death by her own gluttony, dead at the ripe age of 99.
What does it say? We asked, peering over her shoulder.
It said two dot dot.
Two dot dot.
What the heck was it?
We went through all of her things, never discovering anything like it.
Two dot dot
Two dot dot
Two dot dot
It became a family chant at weddings and funeral.
It was actually the only thing we had in common.
