Desiring A Change of Company
Have you ever seen a graveyard?
 Those expanses of calcium rich soil
 which take up a good portion of our park spaces.
  
 It's quite dreary
 And I assure that I have no desire to spend
 The rest of eternity staring at gray-mold head stones
 Not even admire by the living that so banally turn their heads –
 The car is speeding past.
  
 People will not remember me.
 My "family" which will trickle down into a pedigree chart,
 Will not remember me.
 My last mark on them regulated to a genetic disease.
  
 Don’t be beguiled.
 A piece of stone will not change the fact.
 Didn't you know? It's called ADHD
 And its afflictee: the ambiguously titled, humanity.
 
 Already this tomb 
 seems to be washing away,
 The engraving; fading..fading…
 
 Gone!
 
 Why not give us back to the world?
 (This is a jammed-packed party with bare bones).
  
 Why not -
 For once let nature be superior.
 
  I wanted to descend into her ivy womb of wind.
 
 For once could not I be deprived of all human remnants?
 
  I wanted to see what escaping myself would be like.
