rushed to jump out of bed
slipped and fell - woke up dead

I would go back to a simpler day
When I sat on a porch and said "Hey"
To passing neighbors with no cell phone -
I could hear their voice with no ring tone
It's so clear to me what this day lacks -
Marbles and tops and yo-yo's and jacks
I pray St. Pete - if that is my fate -
Says,"Stack your phones well outside the Gate!"
