it's kind of

hard

to explain

but

he died

you see

he died

while wearing

a sheet

over his head

like a ghost

we don't know why

but he died

in a sheet

and now

that he's dead

his ghost looks like

well

it looks like

a sheet

wearing

another sheet

like that

and

oh

it smells like

fabric softener

like gardenias

and well

that wasn't

too hard

to explain

after all
