here for the gone

(only ever a draft)

for godsbother

 

grow old? not grow old?

that’s a joke with no butt

 

not here because they followed orders

a flag, they were singing

 

we all are

even the idea of memory wearies

 

we’re the remainder

still under construction

 

then it’s carry one, carry another

notice how they divide?

 

you’d like to think there’s some point to it

there is immortal thinking

 

and whom can we thank?

‘happy funeral’ some may have said

 

but these are your stone cold facts

life ends in tragedy, you know
