All of us are mortal
All of us will die
Richard Penniman just died
All did say goodbye
Reader, you are mortal
Reader, you will die
I as poet also will
All will say goodbye
Which made me start to wonder
Where I will go next?
If you get there before me
Just let me know by text

Please let me know when you go, I’d hate to not have the chance to say goodbye. I have this fear with many distant friends that we’ll never get the chance.

Mobile phone companies in the UK reuse phone numbers of the deceased. I got a text from a man saying that he was missing his deceased dad and asking what heaven was like, he must have left a phone in the coffin. I am a Born Again Christian so replied: “You ought to see the size of my Guardian Angel’s wings. The feast is great fun but you can only get to heaven if you give all your money to the poor.” I sometimes wonder if the man became any nearer to God after my text from the grave.
