Go, pack, leave. Be past tense,
deceased. Party, travel — jungle,
ruins, desert, dirty beach.
Museums, monuments, ghettos
back East. Fly home, collapse,
die alone in the street.
Family circle, land, search
attic for gold, freezer for cash,
argue, fake grief. Lawyer, smooth,
likely to look up brewhaha,
find brouhaha, bill it as research,
write a new will, bill that too.

I became weary of never having received a comment, so I registered to leave one. My streak is broken. Yes! And, now for a short poem:
Last one clapping
Uber goal to achieve — applaud longer
than anyone else. Instant success,
nothing left to chance, no dream
downstream — like rock star,
beauty queen, Nobel prize for peace.
A first for everything! It’s few and far between that comments get left but when they do, they are great ones!
