Some Call it Dead


Life requires hosting parties. Be gracious
at the start and at the end of them.
Dressing up from cranium to hem,

condemn no circumstance, make no excuse.
Wear your pretty garments loose.
Say what must be said. Once your guests

have fled, go gratefully to bed.
Know that one day you’ll be someone,
something, somewhere else entirely instead.
