Group Themselves Together

deaths seem to come in threes.
I know that is a funny thing to say,
but whenever something bad happens,
it happens to someone else too,
and then you notice that it happened
to someone else
before this whole mess even started

and i know it is not fair to think of deaths
coming in threes
and i’ve got to admit, for some of the deaths
that have happened in my life
well, they were quite singular,
they did NOT come in threes,
but you have to think about it
all these deaths just kind of
group themselves together
