SOMETHING GOING IN SOMETHING COMING OUT

i
read
poetry
on the toilet

something going in
something coming out

it
makes
a
Great Sense to me

~

all those pages
i marked with
a small fold in the corner

well i picture
someone looking thru them
for
something
to
read
at
my
funeral

Primo's Monday
or maybe 
his Give Us
that
i read this morning
in
there

something going in
something going out

( no wait
  read his 
  Song Of Those Who Died In Vain )

and . . .
flush

~

and im wondering who that would be 
looking for something 
to read
for me ?

when i think

Screw You

im not going to die
theres too much Madness
i dont want to miss

these
pages
are
marked
for ME to read
at YOUR funeral

if i get up the guts
on your Big Day

~

or
i
will
read
them
at your graveside

i could do that
at least

or at your cardboard urn
when your ashes
swirl like starlings
into
the
great wherever

with 
hollywood 
golden leaves
all around
and
thin
mocking
english
rain
getting under
my collar

~

or maybe 
i will 
read them
at home 
for you

do i really need to go out ?

would my proximity
to your cadaver
really matter ?

maybe
itll
help you 
rest in peace

tho
i
dont
know
how anybody can
