Postmortem
He woke up one day
And decided to write
A letter to himself
That came back unopened
With a stamp that said
No one at this address
So he found a pay phone
And called his house
But got a recording
That said the number
He was trying to reach
Had been disconnected
It was then that he looked
At the ground and saw
He had no shadow
As he felt the hand
Of the invisible wind
Passing right through him
