SUIT OF STONE

I visited the graveyard

filled with stones of every

size and shape.

I felt I was in a clothing store,

wondering what suit of stone

would suit me well.

It was then, and only then, that

I realized it’s the numbers

that had the grab and the look.

How many days, how many years

do I get to play on planet earth,

before they bury me deep down below?
