Suppose?
For just a little while, that you could be? At your own funeral, just a presence on high. Listening to all the fine praise used to describe your life. And the love of your family would pour forth. You would be the tear in everyone’s eye. Oh, it happens to be sure but one can never be there, not...

eyes that squeak
Yesterday my eyes were rusty in their sockets and squeaked when I looked left to right, with little red clouds popping out when I blinked. Today they are just fine, but I miss the novelty.

I’ll have what it is I’m having
I sat on my tilting, whirling barstool wearing a tilting whirling grin. I said to the barman, “I’ll have whatever I’m having, go ahead, hit me again!” It turned out I was having life.
