Candy Extra

As if you could kill time without injuring eternity. - Thoreau

you stood at my casket

surrounded by everything and nothing

wondering if there'd be a meal afterwards

remarking that i still looked good in cashmere

why couldn't you ever say such things when i was breathing

why didn't you ever hop by my door with an easter basket

Author's Note

"Even the death of friends will inspire us as much as their lives. They will leave consolation to the mourners, as the rich leave money to defray the expenses of their funerals, and their memories will be incrusted over with sublime and pleasing thoughts, as monuments of other men are overgrown with moss; for our friends have no place in the graveyard." - Thoreau
