 By The Bedside
 by Joshua R. McClain
 
 
 
 
   
 
 I sit here I wonder
 
 I ponder
 
 What will happen
 
 I don't know
 
 things are weird
 
 I can't describe them
 
 
 
 
 
   
 
 The room so cool
 
 The dog laying in his own drool
 
 The cat dreaming of a cat food pool
 
 The man trying to rest
 
 As I watch his chest
 
 vibrating like as in a vest
 
 
 
 
 
   
 
 While I sit here by Joe
 
 Nowhere to go
 
 I wonder I ponder
 
 
 
 
 
   
 
 The dog now awake
 
 The cat beginning to shake
 
 The man now asleep
 
 While I creep
 
 Carefully
 
 Quietly
 
 Move around the room
 
 I sit
 
 I hide
 
 By the bedside.
 
 
 
 
 
   
 
 I wrote this poem, 6/27/99
 for Joe Proper on his death bed.
 I wrote this sitting next to him
 the day before he died.
