When you die
will you be burned?
(Ummm.)
or buried?
(Uhhh.)
or rise up to the gods?
(What do you think?)
Will I be able to hug you?
(Yes. )
Do you know
what it means
to leave people behind?
(I do. I do.)
When Bube died
did she go up with the gods?
(I like to think she’s up there looking after you.)
Sometimes,
when I am in time out
I talk to her.
(What does she say?)
She says,
“Your mother and father
are the ones
who chose to put you in time out.”
(Thanks alot, Grandma. Thanks alot.)
Take that! And That!
Right where it hurts!
