it bemused him

                  Yasee a theme

   I do.

But youd rather not

his coffee cup shifted uncomfortably in his hands a drool slipped over its lip

                                                                                No.

Why

Why talk about death? Eventually, yes, I get it.

                                                  But why discuss it?

You talk about basketball baseball knowing Im uninterested not disinterested uninterested

                                                                                                 Why

Inevitable

           Then The End the story of us Yet hopefully theyll be passed down related  an in their tellings were alive

We live

I had a friend Al his name was actually Ali but he preferred Al because living in the US Ali stuck out like a sore thumb He was Armenian

One evening we were playing cardsUNO with family an Al begins with these stories of his crazy uncle one after the other hilarious I told him Id love to meet his uncle Al said that was in Armenia Als father visited the US on occasion his uncle his fathers brother No  No Al said

He said his crazy uncle died sometime in Nineteenth Century

We he continued our lives are told and retold in stories passed down Were not dead until our story is no longer told

Our history is an oral history

No photos of his uncle obviously No painting  Yet he described himhis features his gait the sound of his voice  I was dumbfounded Truly  I could see the man Revivified   Vigorous

I thinkno I believe good reason to talk aboutdiscuss death

I’d rather not.
