Nothing Matters In 100 Years

We eat so well!
Our silver is the finest!
The freshness of our beach cottage remodel
is astounding to us and the community!
What could be more important,
now that you are dying?
Are you keeping your weekly appointments
for the pedicure and the hair styling?
How badly do you want to finish
your opus?
Does anyone but me care?
What will the grandkids know of us?
How about their kids?
Will there be any silver left to hand down?
Perhaps the best legacy is one of invisibility?
Let not our lives span the generations
like a life giving magnet, pulling others
into our 'what was' and bringing us back to life.
Let's fade
Let's be candles
There is no shame in a candle's life
Let's not be the Cola in life's mug,
months later, feeding flies, with no human interest,
but still around
Let's encourage our kids to change their names.
Their life is theirs and not at all ours.
May they not live our life
and may their kids not live theirs
and may we be the kids of our grandkids
and keep evolving to freedom!
Perfectly free
when we exist
not at
all
