If and Then

If an establishment is open 24 hrs, then what does 6:00 mean?
If I am what I fear in my nightmares, then what am I when not asleep?
If there is a pause in conversation, then who will speak next?
If you are allergic to bees, then who will die first after you are stung, you or the bee?
If you hold your breath for as long as you can, then how much longer can you hold it past this point?
If you are absurd, then how real are you?
If you are make believe, then how do you imagine reality?

Missing Most

It was my day off, so I went out for brunch. I like eating alone. I also like eating with other people, but sometimes, it's nice to eat alone. Conversation and chewing and chewing and conversation. Sometimes, it's hard. I was eating alone and looking out the window at the people passing by, and I thought, In 50 years, most of these people will be gone. Dead. We're all different, but we all have to die.

This thought got me thinking. What would I miss the most when I die?

I was sipping my coffee. I like the smell of coffee. There's nothing like it. I'll miss the smell of coffee when I die. But I won't miss it the most...

Then, I walked home. I like walking. It's my time to think. I'll miss it when I die. But I won't miss it the most...

Would I miss butter the most? I don't think so.

I'm curious. What do you think you'll miss the most when you die?
