You came
to bury him
Yes
Hes dead right
I received word he was dying
I stopped at the hospital
He wasnt
there
No
one informed me he was taken home
He is dead
Correct
You
think wed bury him alive
Is that an honest question or are you trying to tease an honest answer
from me
Theres reason why I live across
the country from family
Because
you separated yourself from us
That wouldnt be true
I was young but I had my eyes at the seams and they were
tentative even before I left
Besides we have our own lives to live on our own
terms
Even then there was a lot of
cajoling disparate assessments and worse
family trying to inhibit or diminish siblings from pursuing their dreams
because others didnt share them
Be for something Not against it
Against it is always easier
No skin in the game
You
still dont shaddup
You still have nothing to say
Nothing
I couldnt bribe you for an
original thought
Always
running at the mouth petulant Always demeaning
Always waiting for something
original
Thats not true
I lied
I quit waiting for something
original out of here
I come back to check pulses hold a mirror to noses mouths to see if
breaths will stain them
Always figured one day Id be back
to throw the dead wood on a fire
Are we tossing some wood on the
fire or was I misinformed The reports of my death have been greatly
exaggerated Twain
We dont see things the way they
are we see them as we are Nin
Youre a
muthafucker
A read muthafucker not to put too fine a point on it
Always
shoving worthless bits in our faces and troubled that we have no idea what
youre talking about
The worthless bits arent That you think theyre worthless is the problem
Youre vacuous
outside the immediacy of your petty concerns
Myopic
Myopic
This world is too big and too
beauty to be nearsighted in it or
hindered
Hes dead
The End
