anything or anyone that
needs
me?
will my absence cause
them pain,
make them
suffer to any degree?
will the weeds
and vines
in the yard
keep at it,
the leaves that fall
without
ever being raked,
will they care,
and what
about the cat.
aloof as always, licking
one paw,
then the other
before wiping her
ears in the sun.
will she survive when
i'm gone?
of course she will.
the earth and all it holds
will continue.
and as that great philosopher
Sony Bono once sang,
the beat will go on.
