This Will Happen

It will be a sunny day,
or maybe it will
rain.

Birds will casually squawk to each other
from tall evergreens.
People will drive cars someplace
they may or may not
want to go.
Children will cry for ice cream.
Parents will tell them to wait until after dinner.

The six o'clock news will be watched on TV.
         Commercials will pay for it.  A baby will be born.
Men and women will fall
into or
out of
love.      I will be in a box,
lowered into a six foot hole
    dug by a yellow machine.
A priest will say something in Latin.

The sun will make its
way west.
      People will fall asleep,
most will wake up the next day.

It will be a sunny day,
or maybe it will
rain.
