Thank Me

I plucked the hairs from your skin today
those pesky ones you always hated

I put you in the button down you liked
the one that came with all of those pins to keep it neat

I ironed it, pressed out all the wrinkles
I didn't even burn myself this time

I even shined your shoes
with that polish that makes the whole house smell.

It wasn't until I arranged your bones
in your favorite chair in the living room
that I realized you wouldn't
be waking up to thank me.
