5232. ENDURES WITH OUTRAGE

ENDURES WITH OUTRAGE
Damn, I got hit in the face  -  a swarm of
decrepit flies still oozing the slime dripping
from them. Where they were just previous,
I haven't a clue  -  though I noticed the
cemetery gates were open.
-
If I was already a corpse, nothing of this 
would matter. Life is magnified, no matter
what its ending : the glimmer in the mirror 
is only you looking back. No avoidance.
-
My father used to say don't worry, the
maggots are already within you. They
self-propagate from within your corpse
once dead and untended. I never knew
where he got that from, but, just in case,
I stayed mindful of my guests, along for 
the ride.
