at most

she’s not rich

but at least she has a job

she’s unemployed

but at least she has free time

she is lazy

but at least she can rest

she hasn’t moved from her bed in weeks

but at least the padding is soft

she isn’t responding

but at least she still cares about her looks

she is getting old

but at least she’s living

she died

but at least she is back to the warmest blanket she’ll know

memo to self

we still have to pay for the bed’s soft padding

which at the very least

doesn’t smell too much like her
