notarizing the will at UPS

it's a simple

form

printed off for a mere 55 dollars

paid

with a credit card

online.

the last will and testament,

with my name

printed boldly

at the top.

it's a list of who gets what.

who gets

nada.

who gets

each fork, knife, saucer and cup.

each child

to his or her own

crust of bread.

the young men at the UPS

store,

each get to sign it.

to apply the stamp

and notarize

my document.

strangers from another land,

now 

deciding the fate of my entire

life.

it's all in their hands.
