One of these days
I will run across an obituary
on line, maybe in print
and it will be
about the devastation
brought upon the world
by your loss.
Tears will be shed, songs will be sung,
heads will be hung in sorrow
by a few people,
most likely the ones
who quaffed your bile as if it
were wine
and saw you as
acerbic, slightly pazzo, sublime.
I won’t be there
to spit on your grave
I won’t be there
to mock you, or to laugh at you
or to announce
how glad I am
you are worm food.
Surprised?
After the Reaper has done his job and spirited you away,
I am going to Disney Land
and
I must say here
that
I
can hardly wait.
