An Version of "Because I could not stop for Death": Because I COULD stop for Death

yes it is could not could not on purpose not on accident

Because I could stop for death

He decided to surprise me

My mother’s Prius held us

And our Immortality

 

With speed he drove

And I didn’t put anything away

Just relaxing on my phone

For he didn’t seem to care

 

We drove passed Gerome place

Spoon people all about

We passed my school

Teens all around

 

His clothes were dark

Roughened with age

Mine were bright - But fading

As every second passed

 

We arrived where we were going

And to my surprise

It wasn’t a cemetery

But a ditch - clearly no one cared

 

 

It has felt like forever

But it has  just been a day

Maybe one day they will find me

And move me to a grave
