THE DEAD BOY
For example, the boy was really sick.
Nobody was surprised, for example,
that his mother was sad,
that on Sunday no concert,
that, for example, his father walked thoughtfully
from morning to night by his unemployment.
For example, naturally, the boy died:
he went, poor thing, to heaven to play with the horses in the sky.
The mother, of course, was not consoled,
she was headlong her husband with the papers
and the neighbor said: such a pity of boy,
for instance.
They were forced to think about taking it out:
the boy smelled a lot, for example.
The little blue ribbons,
a box chosen with painstaking taste,
for example, two priests, a crown, a car
and -pian piano, to the cemetery,
with the children behind that their friends were,
very well dressed, yes, for example.
For example, for example,
soon the pain passed,
and the mother painted herself assiduously,
and immediately she returned to the analogous gynecologist
to talk, for example, of another possible child,
and the father meanwhile to earn it at the office,
and to tell the neighbor a little good that she will be,
for example, gentlemen, the little angel in heaven.
