14,006. HAM-HOCK TO HALBERSTAM

HAM-HOCK TO 
HALBERSTAM
Let it all go down; I no longer care.
Festive occasions and funeral dirges
sound  all alike to me. The ice cream
eventually melts in the coffin, they say.
Another way of noting that 'Death is
forever,' I suppose.
-
My cousin Nicodemus met his wife
on an outgoing yacht. My other
cousin, called Generac by me, met
his in jail. Lives of those sorts are
wonderful things, and you never
know where matters will end up.
-
I want to go home screaming. I want
to clean the floor with you. I wish
to see the crustaceans of creation
all come back without their shells.
