breaking even

you want the last check

you write

to bounce.

the one you write 

to the funeral

director on your death bed.

after you've made

all your plans.

you've signed onto

the presidential

style burial.

the caisson,

the gold casket,

the marching band,

and majorettes.

not to mention the 

the eternal flame.

but hopefully you're

in the ground

before,

it's discovered that you've

tapped out

of all your funds.
