The caskets of pages empty.

The caskets of pages empty.

A Poem by andrew mitchell

The caskets of pages empty.
I dragged an empty casket
down the middle of a dirt road
humming  to the delusion
of my distraught...
I wasn't quite ready
to go just yet,
besides......
this was no ordinary casket;
you know the one's;
" one size fits all." 
No, this one was tailored made
by yours truly;
all very simple that empty casket,
just a reminder of me.
Empty of life, dreams,
empty of love, my very own existence.
Empty!
So I find myself on a dirt road
leading to nowhere......
my living hell.
Hence the casket
you just never know.

I am laughing at the delicious irony of this one. I know a few people like this. I once dated a man who took vitamins for the elderly. He seemed really surprised when I pointed out that he wasn't old:):):)
