Strike me down— but here I wonder

How I wound up six feet under

Buried far beneath the ground

I am

U .

Said my head would stay above it

Truly I thought nothing of it

Like a tide (in which I drowned)

I turned

U .

Keep your cool and stay ahead—

Wrong foot and wrong side of bed:

Tables turned without a sound

I went

U .
