leave the dead alone

it's probably
a good
thing, that we can't talk to the dead,
though some try.
how could
we explain
ourselves,
if they answered back,
criticizing what we
watch
and do.
what we say.
telling us to lay off the sweets,
the drink
and smoke.
no one likes someone
looking
over our shoulder
as we try
to live our lives
as best we can.
don't talk with the dead.
let them rest
in peace.
