6532. BALDWIN BOTHERS CREMATION SOCIETY

BALDWIN BROTHERS 
CREMATION SOCIETY
Yes, yes, madame, it's a real place and it's a real society  -  
all over Florida. I'm surprised the owner's name isn't
Ashley Baldwin. The pall is enormous over the land,
and they vote Republican when they can. Completely
confusing to me  -  the nearness of death brings people
to a place where the sunlight supposedly makes it all
so more alive. Watch, just watch, the rise and fall of
the distant sea  -  conquerors, searchers for gold, those
after fountains of youth. All can be. The southward
lands lie fallow, awaiting another kind of entry.
