Phillip Coffey - Self-Rising

Self-Rising by Phillip Coffey

Don't bring me prearranged wreaths of flowers with my passing,
Sometime or another in the not too far upcoming, pending future.
Just go to a grocery or 'jot 'em down store' nearby in the evening.
Purchase some flour or pale corn meal-making it very clear now -
"Not ever "All Purpose" - just "self-rising."
