ENCOUNTER

Visiting the grave of my younger self 
I brought some flowers, planning
To speak a few words of polite regret
But there he lay, on top of the ground,
Idly dreaming at half-past noon! Angrily,
I kicked him; if he's going to insist
On being alive he should stop dreaming 
And help with the hard work of being me.
