he coughed as the dust reached his mouth
he swatted it from his eyes, then continued to dig
he had been busy for the past half hour
digging his own grave
this wasn't easy work
since his nose was easily irritated
every few seconds he would have to stop to sneeze
but this didn't discourage him
he kept on until it was done
a hole about six feet deep
he crawled in and just laid there
waiting for something, for nothing
he scraped the dirt from the ground to cover himself
and he laid there
he stayed there
welcoming Death when it came for him
