Elsewise

Is death our fault? A corporal

punishment? Admonishment
from some vast mystic Moral Board
that we have failed the vital test?
.
Is that why we’re remanded
to the maw of death? If we were virtuous

exemplars of some cosmic law,
would nothing sever us from breath?
.
If we, say, ceased our wanking off,
would we be spared that final spanking?

Soft! What light through yonder
window then would break?
.
Would it invite us to be good
so we not only could but would
live on the Earth eternally?
Then let’s go out
.
and fuck things up infernally.
Promise me nonbeing
or at least a little coma in a b’n’b
before careening me
.
into another change
of scenery.
Elsewise I’m-a quit

this beanery.
