...in my someday absence:



no vault please, i want my molecules to be absorbed into a tree.

I accept reality and dare not question it.
Camerado! This is no book; who touches this touches a man.
I am as bad as the worst, but, thank God, I am as good as the best.


We therefore commit his body to the ground; earth to earth, ashes to and dust to dust...

The beautiful uncut hair of graves.
Just under the surface I shall be, all together at first, then separate
and drift, through all the earth and perhaps in the end through a cliff into the sea, something of me. A ton of worms in an acre, that is a wonderful thought, a ton of worms, I believe it.


oh, and no embalming, if it's possible, and an Eastern Orthodox funeral if they permit it. don't worry - im not suicidal, just that Philly led to Camden led to Walt Whitman, led to jersey, led to Walt Whitman's tomb (where his last wishes WERE NOT honored, to my thots on how i would like to be honored.
