Nekpokhaeia

a flower car
and what do you prefer
white or red roses? and
the limousine,
black or white?

We may dispense with the surgeons
And the plumbers,
And the upholsterers,
Or the carpenters,
But we need the tailor
If you decide to have
New clothes
To fit his social status

We will provide the drapers,

And the hearse for the transportation,
Of course,

We are discussing your funeral

We go back again
To embalming choices,
10 days or 20 days?
