Can't Avoid Him.

Death is like an uncle
who gives all his
nieces and nephews
five dollars.

You never know when
or where it's coming,
but you know it will.

Maybe in a letter,
or on a summer visit.

Could be for Christmas,
a birthday
or for no good reason at all.

The good news is,
you usually expect it.
Sometimes you need it,
but don't always want it.
