to check
the obituaries on a daily basis.
skipping
the news, etc.
and turning right
to the obits
in the metro section.
she wanted
to know what killed these
people,
what happened,
how old were they.
strangers in black and white.
some grim,
some smiling.
some holding a cat or dog.
once that was done
finding no
one she knew, she'd turn
to the comics,
dear abby,
and then the crossword
puzzle.
maybe cut out a few
coupons in the food section
before putting
the paper
at the bottom of her
bird cage.
