A reply was not expected
The question was not asked
And then without warning
Glasses were raised in a toast
The guest turned on his shower
After writing a suicide note
And then without warning
Glasses were raised in a toast

A simple act of kindness
Missing a sense of loss
And then without warning
Glasses were raised in a toast
Graced by his presence
A handsome pleasance
A self-conscious past
Some room for improvement
Remove for improvement
