Bill
I don’t think
You can die twice
But just in case
Make sure your boat
Is all plugged up
Against water

Bring a knife
You know how you are
With fishing nets
Nylon line and anything else
To get snagged on

Maybe where you are
You don’t need air
So all the gear we had to wear
To stay alive won’t matter

John and I will be along
He’ll bring the beer
And I the wine

We’ll see you
On the other side

Soon if not tomorrow

And I, the tears.

I hope it won't be soon, much less tomorrow.
