Deconstructing Harry
for Hazelle Goodman
six billion of them
sitting and waiting
must keep these on hand
black body bags
one for every human being
for every member
of the human race
to each his own
no idea when it will be required
who will just drop dead, when
these bags like sandwich bags
designed to
designed with
zip lock
when we all get in
if we all got in
who would be left
to zip-lock us in

Obie you once again make me make us ponder our mortality, for indeed we are just ashes and dust. . Very vivid imagery
My friend, it seems as if you are just as near as ever. What an illusion, when I know though, that you are far far away. What if we were able to e-mail, etc., even from the grave - even from the other side, as the saying goes, would that not be the day?
