after death
we exaggrate a person's good qualities,
inflate them.
during life
we are often repulsed by that same person
while talking to them on telephone
or just being with them in the same room.
and we are often critical of the way they
waalk, talk, dress
live
believe
but let them die
then what creatures they
become.
if only at a funureal service
somebody would say,
"what an odious individual
that one was!"
even at my funeral
let there be a bit of truth,
then the good clean
dirt.
