that rain hit at the windows
as did something else
but with the rain being
so strong at the windows
it was very hard to see
what was out there
so I went back to cooling
And I was inspired by
the darkness of the hot pots.
So I look towards the door
And it's a figure at it
oh who is this at this time of night
it was a shadow with a hat and
he looked at his watch and he said
time for you.
What are you saying
what does that mean
But he disappeared
And reappeared in the house
this time and said look
it's coming up the walk turn
off the lights
let the dead think you are not in
what dead don't walk to doors at night.
well this one is dead and got up and walked around lost and it's mind
is lost in what is not dead along
with it
Then I here the knock and it's
sounds strange like a metal
moving. Then I see
it's a coat rack and it should not be at this place in this time
Then it can't see cause I turned the lights
out. And it went back down the walk
on into the night
but how did you know and what
are you
well I am a gift a pocket watch away to keep you away from all pain
that trays to come at any time
by now.
