The surrealness of
the moment is astonishing
for the electrons to replace
yellow paper and a bic.
comforting in a way
that I can't even
begin to describe.


I feel your pain
I have been there
Too many times
Brother, father, mother
My mother's mother died
Of the old timer's disease
Once larger than life
She ended up in the position
Of a fetus
There is serious trouble
With the lack of grace
The truly sick and elderly
Are given by care givers
Care givers?
They could not care less

Let us die young or
Let us live forever

Mother died on the couch
About three hours
Before I found her
I made the mistake
Of calling 911 instead of
The funeral home
They came in and took over
They attempted to revive her?
I guess if you call 911
They have to try
But, they pulled over
To the side of the road
On the way to the hosptal
And used my mother's body
As an education tool
I drove by the ambulance
On my way to the hospital
Didn't put it together
That it was hers
When I got to the hospital
Before that ambulance
It hit me
I flipped out
I lost it all over that place
I sued the ambulance company
The town she lived in
And the hospital
You watch Grey's Anatomy
You see this crap does happen
Pretty God damned horrible
I had a good lawyer
A family friend
An Italian not a Jew

So, if you find someone dead
And it's been a long time
You know they're not coming back
And you're in your home
Call the funeral parlor
Do your loved one a favor

Don't you leave my sister, whom I've come to adore
Your light is a beacon to others I share
For with each passing, our time is but short
You leave with these thoughts...not cort
Presenting your soul in ways, but aware.
