Posthumous Life

I think I'll die before I live from time to time, I suppose life seems more take than give a cynical opinion sometimes shows Michael, Gabriel or Azrael may come to bring me my pink slip and leave my future in disarray ticket punched for the return trip yet if I can get the jump on it go ahead and postulate anyhow a posthumous life might better befit than what I've got here right now today's stance an intractable position a life well lived, for argument's sake could depart now of my own volition and leave some witticism at my wake then folks who knew me, not one iota could say "just seemed to be so content" "though lately colder than North Dakota" "To hell is what I think was meant" and maybe I'll live on in my words to make life both meaningful and bold 'stead of day's living for the birds a posthumous life a thing to behold 'course I might need to think again considering all the prose and cons my best thinkin' might be just insane afterlife might be a big come on. maybe it's not any better than this my Shangri-La might be right here too hard to look back and reminisce if I just posthumously disappear © Goode Guy 2011-06-27 dear friends, we're gathered here...
