How Will Your Children Remember You
My identical twin was having a fit
when I said I am not having a tombstone or a funeral
I think they are both creepy
How are your children going to visit you? She asked.
This seemed strange too.
They can't visit me, I told her.
How are they going to remember you?
They can read my fourteen thousand poems or my seven books
or they can look at the five hundred paintings I have drawn.
Let's change the subject, she said.
Which meant that she was changing the subject.
