Dead Man Talking
No matter how great or deadly we feel
the dead are feeling greater
and far more dead.
The living and dead are a two-sided mirror,
cops and robbers waving
at something they cannot see yet,
but they know a two-way mirror
when they see one.
The dead are more alive of course,
they no longer have to pay taxes
or funeral costs,
more time to about, being great.
The living make the best of things
and it's ever so peculiar
how hard it is for them to kill themselves.
