Bienvenidos

Step right in
to this thing we have,
this thing that has us. I
trust
you'll want to stay a while -
a lifetime or two (and that's
before we become
Hindus - it's true).
No passport required,
you'll have to walk every step
of the way
but you won't get
tired
(naturally no shots -
we're open to it all;
we burn on all available watts),
and the views will be new,
so new,
yet like the home you reach
almost too late.
(This destiny of ours
has nothing to do with fate.)
And look right here -
the order on it reads,
"Do Not Resuscitate," which
means no life support here,
which means bury it far out
in the desert, which
means pile the
rocks high
(to discourage the coyotes, you
know)
so we can get busy down below
with some subterranean
celebration (and start planning
our next
incarnation.)
