What would happen?

What would happen

If I die?
Would anyone mourn?
Would anyone care?
Would anyone notice?

They would notice.

A class of 28

Now a class of 27

They would care.

4 groups of 7

Now 1 group of 6

They would mourn.

They would be obliged to write a long caption

I was never good at writing long captions

5 paragraphs is just nice

You care but you know your viewers don’t have the attention span

I could never squeeze out more than 4

Yours 

Yours are always so eloquent 

Like treading on eggshells 

Even though you’ve broken so many eggs

And made so many omelettes

With me

But then 

You write a longer caption

8 paragraphs

And a line!

And I feel my omelettes turn cold

They can’t compare

To his three-layered cake 

And then I ask myself 

What would happen

If I die?

Would you mourn?

Would you care?

Would you notice?
