the obituary writer

at the end of your life
you need to have one good friend
still around.
someone who loves you,
someone
who put up with all of your
shenanigans
it can be a neighbor,
a son,
a brother, a sister.
the mailman.
a nurse.
anyone who sees the good in you.
this is the person you assign
to writing your
obituary.
someone to rewrite your life,
put a shine on it.
buff it like an apple
in the sunlight.
hiding the bruised
and brown
worm side.
